Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: a big benefit of the high pass filter

You read between the wrong lines! ;)

My theory there was assuming the hi-pass WOULD be used.

What my ramblings there are more concerned with is this:

When you get back X amount of gain from eliminating the lowbass/subsonic component from the satellites, how much of that gain can you *actually* use when what you are replacing the low/sub signal with is additional midbass/mids/highs.

This is apples nd oranges stuff. Bass "beats", pulses, surges etc. are typically more cyclic than higher up in frequency. It gets into the chicken egg part of amps - max gain versus thermal capacity. Basically, what will you run out of first.

That was what I was trying to get at.

Cheers,
Presto
