Thanks Paul--Highpass Question? Re: Sure it's not your amp ....

Hey Paul,

Thanks for your review, I found it very helpful.

I'm considering the sealed system you mention, having seen a similar (or perhaps identical) system recommended on the Bottlehead site (you may be familiar with it*) for the S.E.X. amp.

I see you ran the FE166 full range despite having the subwoofer, and the Bottlehead site recommends the same thing, saying that running it full range makes for a better blend with the sub.

Could you expound on that a bit? It seems that running the FE166 with a highpass filter (at say 120Hz) would unburden the SET quite a bit, reduce IM, etc. So I'm tempted. But do you find that with the bass cut out of the fullrange there is no way to blend the sub and the fullrange well, and that this problem overshadows any gain from unburdening the SET amp?

I'm just curious what your experiences were.

Thanks for your contributions,

George
