  • I'll probably get there eventually. Like you say, they're certainly inexpensive enough to give one a shot myself either way. I'm still curious if anyone here has already tried it though. I understand these speakers aren't meant for it and they're n…

Have you tried pushing them lower in a ported box to see what they do (if they compress or distort or start to bottom-out)? I know that's probably a dumb question, but the pc105's and their similarly puny 2mm Xmax seem to happily re…

I don't suppose you've tried it even temporarily as the bottom for a 2way (or maybe a 3way that isn't expected to reach super low)?  I'm definitely happy to hear the mids of the PK (and likely the PA) can be good. Now I want to g…
  • Ha! No offense taken, that's probably a good point for center drifting dependant on frequency (assuming there isn't something wonky with the tweeter or crossover). In my case the problem isn't a drifting center nor an off-center....center, it's just…
  • For a bit of a sanity check I tried switching over to a pair of full-range single driver boxes with the bafflestep crossover removed. This can't fix driver variance, but it should remove at least some of the potential pitfalls of component variance …
  • Can you share what C1, L1, C2 values (plus resistor ohms and positions if any) you're using right now along with the tweeter model? Roughly speaking you'll usually want C2 to be somewhere around the value of C1 or less to get the steepest slope..do…
  • Part of the reason this bothers me is because flipping the polarity of one tweeter so the speakers' woofers stay in-phase while the tweeters are now out ruins the narrow "sweet spot" but seems to give a better phantom center effect to the …
  • I'm assuming an anologue interface (mic-pre output and PC 1/8"mic-intput) doesn't work with most measuring software? Decent accuracy from roughly 500hz-5000hz would be plenty. Is that a reasonable expectation for an old fashion XLR-to-micpre LD…

Thanks for the link. I found a similar list like this on a different site a bit ago, but I feel like this particular one gives a bit more detail on what to listen for specifically which is quite helpful.

I understan…
  • One of the reasons I'd like to edit my first post is to change the "comb filtering" part to simply say "timing/alignment and phase issues"...even though they're technically versions of the same thing, I think a lot of folks tend …
  • I'll naturally want to whine about that time limit because I'm SUPER slow at catching my own mistakes or I'll find something out the next day (or later if learned from somebody's later response) that makes me realize "oops I need to fix that or…

I mean individual posts aside from started discussions. I don't have a gear near later posts at all though I DO have the gear/option when I start a new thread...though it only shows the option to announce or sink which I didn't see …
  •   Is there still no way to edit posts? I'd like to add more information and clear up some confusingly worded mistakes.
  • Nevermind. I could be blind, but I'm not seeing the option to edit existing posts. 
  • I think I don't know how to use this forum very well, lol. I don't want to mark this as answered because there are several questions and I'd like to hear multiple opinions, but "rejecting" the answers in the post above feels rude.  I also…
  • I've just been twisting leads together, but that's mostly between not having enough clips and being a poor solderer along with a slow gun.  I'm assuming most folks don't do this because of the chances of accidentally damaging XO parts/leads, or are …
