I have used the Parts Express DSP-408 with good results. Offers a big slice of what mini-DSP does for next to no money. Experiment with that and see if you think you’re making progress. You’d have to break out the woofer input to direct couple it. I agree that leaving the rest of the speaker xover for now is a good phase 1 plan. I have also used HHHF as a resource and Tony is great to deal with. Have fun! |
+1 jrpnde I use a Marchand Electronic Crossover. Amazing piece, built entirely to your spec. Think seriously about bi-amping, purchase another amp. But, at any rate, check out Marchand, it will give you an excellent idea of what is possible. https://www.marchandelec.com/ |
Well truthfully, those old Infinity crossovers sucked due to how they were optimized. They were optimized for frequency but not impedance I suspect in large part due to the tools available at the time. Very demanding for amplifiers but they don't need to be. They don't need upgraded parts. They usually need a complete re-think. I know this is anathema, but this is a case where a good modern crossover builder with better tools can come up, and they have, with much better circuits, but to do this you need to know how to analyze a speaker. Most arm chair speaker hobbyists don't and it's a long learning curve. If the problem is in the bass, my suggestion to use a hybrid set up can resolve your issues without adding too many phase/impedance/slope matching problems which all crossovers ( line level or speaker level) have. Maybe look online to see if you can find a person selling new crossovers with better impedance characteristics is also a good option for the Infinities. |
