Today I had a promising experience. Bill is keep experimenting with his Dannoys and I was visiting him to see what's going on there, since I am still waiting for my panels and I can experience the Dannoy foreplay only valceruasly. We did a very useful experiment, he crossed the Dannoy with original crossovers I drove it is with a full bandwidth signal, without equalization of his digital shaitan machine. The sound in the end was okay with screaming typical deficiency of class d amplifier he used this time. He certainly needs another amplification and he is working on it. I am saying to sound was okay purely from audio perspective as from "mystery" it was nowhere, perhaps those sit amplifiers will do the trick. The sound was dynamically challenged and sound with colorations of burnes Autumn leaves - a typical Tannoy crap. Then Bill crossed his Dannoys at 80 cycles, and the bottom field is his subwoofer. The sound was still very nice altogether with exception of digital amplifier signature but Dannoy become so much less dynamically challenged and so much jumper. That was exactly what I was hoping for.
I am planning to cross my Dannoys at 50 cycles and experiment with up and down. I feel that the bottom of Dannoys with Bill' subwoofer sound better than top of his subwoofer. Keep my playlist crossover points up and down but it will affect the level of Dannoys compression. It would be interesting to find a proper balance.
With Remedios it will be a little bit more complicated as it has on mid base channel which is superbly colorful. The the objective of this channel will be not to go for kill but to provide proper decay for Tannoy bass driver. If I need to go for the kill at lower frequencies than I have my sub 20 Hertz open baffle. See I will be playing the very same games as Bill to as I will be playing competition between bottom of the Tannoy and top of Vitavox 15, elso knowing that the higher and sharper I golf in crossover cuz the more Dynamics I will be unleashing from Dannoys. Make your bets where I will be ending up. My estimate that Bill will drop his crossover points to 40-60 cycles and I most likely will end up with 60-80 cycles...
