Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Good point, and why I prefer LR4

With a fourth order acoustical Linkwitz XO, the drivers sum flat AND are in the same polarity at crossover frequency. Reversing the polarity of one driver will then produce a deep null, which is a pretty good test as it indicates excellent phase tracking in the correct polarity.

There will inevitably be a dip at crossover frequency in the horizontal off-axis response, and various dips and peaks as you go off-axis vertically, but this is the case with most crossover topographies. LR4 is somewhat more forgiving than most on the vertical off-axis. If you listen on the correct axis, in a reasonably damped room, there should be no problem.
