RE: MMG MiniDSP and bi-amp Questions

For a first order LP filter fc= R/(2*pi*L) which works out to 290 hz for a 4 ohm load with a 2.2 mH inductor. For a 2nd order filter the fc= 1/[2*pi*sqrt(L*C)], so for the original MMG this is 1/[(2*pi*sqrt(2.2*24*10^-9)] or 680 Hz.
I was unaware that the original MMG tweeter had an impedance of 2.6 ohm, in which case the fc is 2550 Hz as you stated. I will need to update my spreadsheet.
BTW, Tasmon reported the woofer inductor as 0.75 mH while the official schematic (both on the Tweaks page) is 2.2. I never understood why one would want to go to a capless crossover as the inductor is the least ideal of the passive devices -relatively expensive, poor tolerances, very real capacitance and resistance, limited values, etc.
