In Reply to: RE: Stereo vs mono subwoofer output and the Parasound P5 preamp posted by Kal Rubinson on October 12, 2016 at 05:09:35
Hi, Kal,
Thanks for the insight and advice. My Dynaudio Contour S1.4 speakers are reasonably good down to perhaps 60-80 Hz and I'd like to see if I can improve their performance by removing the workload below that using a cross-over. I don't like the results using the subs cross-over thus my interest in the Parasound P5 preamp or Integrated amp.
The miniDSP Dirac Live analog unit caught my attention based on a recent discussion you've had on another forum. For $800 I could have not only the ability to set the lower limits of my mains but also fine-tune the overall output to account for room acoustics. I've done just about everything I can without spending a bunch of money on external cross-overs and room treatments. The Dirac Live unit seems like a very reasonably priced alternative.
Any thoughts on the benefits of spending more money for the convenience of the Dirac Live vs miniDSP unit?
Regards,
Tom

DiracLive will not do crossovers. However, there are miniDSP units that will do DL and crossovers.
This looks like it would work perfectly for what I want to accomplish. And it's half the price of the P5. :-)
DDRC-24 for 2.1 or 2.2 configurationThanks!
