Hey Kurt,Build something??!!?? Surely you jest! ;)
Actually, I'm building the preamp and SET FR amp now, but won't put the speakers together until i sojorn to MI this spring--I plan to use them to keep me relatively sane in the hovel I am remodeling.
Besides, I find the research delicious foreplay, where anything is possible, before dealing with cold, cruel reality.
Thanks for the Linkwitz link--his site is fascinating. It's interesting that he found phase distortion in his analog 4th-order crossover inaudible. I'm planning on using a digital XO, which I believe will have none of the phase distortion, though naturally it's own compromises. And I'm hoping the sharp slopes will minimize interference between the drivers. The prospect of combining new and old tech in a new way excites me.
The digital XO will also provide equalization, another one of those varibles.
I'll certainly report on my experiences, but that'll be a good while from now.
Feel free to comment if you like, and thanks and good luck!
Best,
George
