RE: Passive high impedive filtering

Well, Now I have tryed miniDSP for low-level filtering in various x-over points and slopes, and none of those came close to the pressence I get with the high-level 1st order hi-pass filtering (bass falling of natuatelly)
I am not sure if it´s the miniDSP in itself killing the lifefullness of the music, or its higher order slopes. But the single cap filter is light years ahead in my ears.
The difference is most clear listening to high impact instruments (like piano) witch makes me think the key lay in less phase shifts.
I am fuly aware that lower high pass x-over point call for stepper filtering. But the best x-over point is also determand by the bass response, not the mid/tweeter horn alone. And I think the lowest possible hi-pass x-over point is´nt always the best, since this calls for higher order filtering, and thus more phase shifts.
