i'm larking around with my new setup which is evm15l in karlson with le5 (in freespace) and 806/811

crossover is first order at 500hz and 5khs.sounds nice at low volumes but le5 is a little ragged at high volumes and 806/811 is also...but less so

for comparison i tried my behringer cx3400 and cheap nad amps (3130) crossing at various points between 800 hz and 1khz using karlson and 806/811 as a two.this sounded clean up as loud as i could bear...but lacked life and transparency (4th order!!!)

le5 will go in 300hz edgar midhorn soon , so will this keep it under control at high volume ?

do i need to go 2nd order, if so which one?

....will it crush the life out of the sound?

should i forget about compression drivers ( or try 2" jbl /bigger altec?)

what crossover points/orders are people using with their compression drivers?

cheers

gary

p.s ( ruling out partisan advice...will not send 806/811 f.o.c to a good home...!)
