Saying nah, does not make it so DQ. In fact it means sweet FA.Daniel Quinn wrote: ↑Mon May 04, 2020 3:33 pm Doc Foster, thats legitimate but a different argument. Though, personally I can't get past the harm a xover deos.
Vinylrus, nah.
A personal taste thing I suppose. Probably slightly different costs and benefits for each.Daniel Quinn wrote: ↑Mon May 04, 2020 3:33 pm Doc Foster, thats legitimate but a different argument. Though, personally I can't get past the harm a xover deos.
So a bit of both?Daniel Quinn wrote: ↑Mon May 04, 2020 5:31 pm Currently I'm using modified wharfedale dovedale. Scans peak tweeter with just a cap. Audax midrange with a 100uf cap and an inductor and the original 12inch bass driver which is doped.
I don't think I can either.Daniel Quinn wrote: ↑Mon May 04, 2020 3:33 pm Though, personally I can't get past the harm a xover does.
Is there any reason you decided to put a cap and inductor on the mid range driver rather than dope it too ?Daniel Quinn wrote: ↑Mon May 04, 2020 5:31 pm Currently I'm using modified wharfedale dovedale.

If the bass driver was pointed in a direction other than directly at the listening position (e.g upwards) then maybe you could get away with leaving it running full range.Docfoster wrote: ↑Mon May 04, 2020 5:45 pmSo a bit of both?Daniel Quinn wrote: ↑Mon May 04, 2020 5:31 pm Currently I'm using modified wharfedale dovedale.

Similarly, I've left the woofer running full range on my Magisters. But to my ears it contaminates the midrange. I feel a bit purist about the old gals tho so I leave it open. Could dope the woofers further, but IME whilst doping does seem subjectively to trim down the top end of a driver's active range (which in this case is what I want), it also reduces the overall sensitivity which in this case I don't want, as the bottom end is spot on.
