@emergingsoul The chart attached to my post shows the impedence of the tweeter I reference, which is the bottom curve you see there. When people design a passive crossover, they assume that the impedence is constant over all frequencies, but that is not at all true as you can see from the curve on the chart.
A passive crossover is an electronic circuit which is a filter. It is assumed that all of the various components - resistors, inductors and capacitors, all have the same values at all frequencies. The problem is that the loudspeaker driver is also a component in that circuit and it does NOT have the same impedence at all frequencies. What makes things even worse is that capacitors do change in value as they age, so an old crossover may not operate exactly as intended when it is 25 years old.
Is bi amping worth it ?
New thinking ?
the subwoofer world is quite confusing . so I have left that decision alone for a bit. I have recently read where bi amping the khorns could give me the little more bass punch I am looking for. ? The 601 mono-blocks certainly have enough power but I have a tube pre amp C-2300 that does not separate bass and treble signals so would need to add an external crossover.
anyone have any experience with this ? Is this worth the effort ? And if so any recommendations on the external crossover ?
thanks again everyone. I greatly appreciate all input from this forum.
