Actually it turned out that LE5-2/2105 are much more complicated driver and to sound right it need way more complex crossover then juts a band-pass the I initially unused. I spend some time with it today but did not find a configuration the I feel comfortable. I do not know if I want to be involved in a full-tile fight with this driver- this is a MiniMe system and it shell not be really good – it I want good I might tuner Macondo up. I am kind of thinking if it does make sense for me to get a digital corrector and to “fix” all LE5-2/2105 problems via a digital correction system. It will sound like crap but it will not be better if I put zobels and resonators into my MF circuit. After all the MiniMe will be diver by a cheap gainclone amp and will not be targeted foe intense listening. So, it might make since to run it from a D-correction system. 

This is my second trip into the DEQ world. First time I was trying to adopt the similar units 8 years back with my driver’s evaluation for Macondo. Funny I thought that that for MiniMe it would not be so critical but as soon I plugged the DEQ-2496 in MiniMe pass I have heard that depersonalized DEQ sound.

Anyhow, this is another type of Behringer, formerly I had EQ + crossover and this one EQ +RTA. I will be playing with it and will see where it brings me in. What was impressive that it was $220 and free overnight delivery. (UPS Ground from NY to Boston gets delivered overnight). Anyhow, I do have a feeling that this DEQ will work for MiniMe I just need to figure out what “logic” shall be handled  by MiniMe’s own crossover and what will be supplemented by DEQ.
