I have finally set up the reverberation injection. My DSP3000 turned out to have some problem (vanishingly low output), I hunted DSP100 and got a pair of Focal Twin Shape speakers as the RI (2x5" woffers + 2x 6" passive radiators + inverted dome ...

Edgar, did you try augmenting Dannoys with ScanSpeaks? I don't know where did you get high order filters and ported enclousers from but it's not on my list. I do not plan to crossover Dannoys but run them in parallel with ULF. The reverb idea is very...
