RE: Infinity RS 1B Please Read

"The xover used a low voltage input from the preamp right and left channel and you would run OUT of your amplifier INTO the xover then OUT to the sub cabs. The xover compares the input from the preamp signal to the amplifier output signal and corrects the signal that goes to the sub cabs. Although there is not a physical accelerometer on one of the loudspeakers the method above does work"

I think you just described a feedback circuit where the amplifier output signal is referenced to the crossover input. The circuit then sees the reverse EMF of the woofer as the later accelerometer circuit would. Since accelerometers had yet to be created for such a configuration, this was a very cool precurser. I have never heard these babies myself, but the RS Betas were a dream speaker in my early 30s. Ampzilla seems to has some sort of an axe to grind with this company. Time for him to come clean.
