Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Interesting approach

My NAD C740 receiver does not have any X-over built in. It's strictly classic 2 channel music. In fact, it doesn't have a sub out line level either, so I use silver Ys between pre and amp to do that duty.

Not sure your approach would work at all in my situation, unfortunately.

The NAD does a fine job with the VR1s; the KLH plate amp even publishes its specs as having 10% THD at 120 W and only about 1% THD at best down at 100W, so I'm not impressed with the idea of using its circuitry on the mains.

Also - and here's where my theoretical approach may be way off base -- I figure that the sub is the weak link in my speakers, being an el cheapo. By comparison, the VR1s are very well made and voiced and reach accurately (at least to my ear) down into the 40Hz range without stress. So I wouldn't want to swap the upper bass and mids of the great VR1s for the probably crappy ones of the KLH. That makes your solution improbable for me.
