Re: Xover frequency for biamped Quad ESL 57s?


Hello Sandro,

I just bought a set of US Monitor ESL 63's with Gradient SW63's. It is my plan to incorporate them both with my ESL 63's, and also with stacked PK rebuilt '57s (a friend and I are gearing up for a planar shootout in December). I have several questions for you:

1. Would you say the same crossover point suggestion of 70-85Hz applies to stacked '57s, or would you go deeper? Would you tend to use the lower end of that range due to the added surface area?

2. Since I already have the SW63's, I would like to use them. If Gradient's crossovers are the problem, is there another outboard active crossover out there which does not impart hardness to the midrange?

3. While we're on the topic of crossover points, what would you recommend as a '63 USM crossover point?

Thanks,

Paul
