Re: Small speaker flanking sub limitations.
I know you don't normally filter your mains but would you run the same type of slope on the mains and the flanking subs? I.e both 12db lr or Bessel?

Re: Small speaker flanking sub limitations.
I've had best results with low-order slopes. Second is what usually works best for me but I've even run first. I'll run third-order if I must, but that starts to be less effective. Fourth-order and higher are definitely harder to work with.
The bal...

Re: Small speaker flanking sub limitations.
Sure, that would probably work just fine. It would smooth the anomalies around 100-120Hz, which is where we usually find the self-interference notch from the wall behind the mains.

Re: Small speaker flanking sub limitations.
So your suggesting crossing over to subs, effectively creating a three way and then having flanking subs as well?
If the above is what you mean it definitely isn't going to happen in my room with my wife.
Is there a reason why applying a high pass...

Re: Small speaker flanking sub limitations.
When mains are very small like that, you really need to use subs just to prevent over-excursion of the mains. If you want to use a flanking sub approach in that case, you really need two subs per side.
The whole idea is to increase the number of soun...

Small speaker flanking sub limitations.
So my main speakers are quite small typical 6" plus 1" dome tweeter. I know the idea of running your mains full range with flanking subs is to have as many speakers overlapping as possible to help smooth the response.
But if your speakers are ...

Re: Class d for flanking subs
In the past few years, I have read a lot about audiophiles who switch from tube amp to class d for their mains.
Most claim that the bass sounds tighter, or has more "grip",
while the midrange and high end suffer.
I noticed a similar effect (...

Re: Class d for flanking subs
Any good quality amp is suitable for subs. Just be careful of clipping, as subs are particularly sensitive to high-frequency content. Their cooling systems require cone excursion to work.

Re: Mono "flanking sub"
My new woofer has arrived, so I can use them as flanking subs, I've also had some new cabs made so they will be forward firing this time.
