but what about the slopes question?

I understand the utility of the DCX2496 as a design tool, but I also fear that you're correct about its less than stellar sound quality. It has a few features that are very appealing - like the ability to save numerous profiles and call them up on demand. That would permit me to correct mixes to some extent - or, at least, configure them more to my taste. In fact, even if I discover a particular set of points and slopes to be ideal (to my ears), I'd love to preserve level adjustments in the final design.

The paucity of off the shelf active XO solutions is disappointing in light of the benefits of the line level approach. It looks like only the pro audio products have the degree of configurability that I desire.

Maybe I should rethink my approach. You know precisely what I'm using right now - I'd like to push the points closer to stock and provide some low end filtering. I actually have a convenient, single-point level adjustment for my subs in the dbx120. So, if I just had the ability to adjust the top end a little (and that would be easy with what I'm using at the present), I'd have my balancing desires met.

I'm still left with my original question - what about the slopes? In your opinion, is it best to stay in the realm of 6dB/octave slopes? How about assymetrical slopes like those of the initial MMG (I rather liked the passive I built of that design)? How do the steeper slopes work with MMGs? I guess I know your answer. Buy the damn DCX2496 and find out!

Okay ;- )
