Brombo again. As an alternative to the miniDSP look at - http://rtaylor.sites.tru.ca/2013/06/25/ ... are-howto/ Also there is windows software for using your sound card as an dsp crossover http://www.thuneau.com/ I don't have any opinion on the windows software since I don't use windows. I hope to eventually replace the miniDSP I am using with the cbt36k's with my computers soundcard (Xonar D2) and appropriate dsp software but the sound server (also video) program I am using is Kodi and I cannot redirect the audio output from Kodi to a dsp program via the command line so I have to learn how to use the ladspa filters for alsa so the dsp processing looks like and alsa audio output device that I can select from Kodi. |

I think my complaint is the "digital" part. I feel I need to go analogue on the ribbons. |

Do you mean that to you no digital source (CD's, .wav, .flac, .mp3, .etc) that has a DAC sounds right to you? My complaint with the miniDSP 2x4 HD is that for my use it requires an ADC (I am using the analog inputs since I am running Linux). Can you use the digital inputs (optical and usb only for windows) on the miniDSP 2x4 HD and see if it sounds any different? |

I do listen to digital source. I have music files on a NAS, and use a Raspberry Pi running Rune software as a player into my Twisted Pear Buffalo DAC vis USB. I accept the sound of a digital source as long as its musical. My serious listening is pure analog via vinyl set up. My problem is when I inject DSP in the system, the sound becomes more HiFi than real. It has a glassy quality that chases me out of most hi-end megabuck systems I have heard at RMAF and Axpona. I think I get the Carver ASL's to be musical if I get a decent analog xover on the ribbons, since the ribbons produce 90% of the sound coming from the speakers. |

Hey Paul! Do you want try the auto-transformers? You can go in either direction with them -- current to volts -or- volts to current. |

Roscoe Thanks, you have mentioned the Behringer before and its on the list but I found a linkwitz 24db/octave From china with replaceable chips for $30. Does not have flashing leds or dancing girls which is more my speed. I have a few OPA chips to replace the standard chips that come with it. I am just waiting for a reply that I can configure this unit for 150hz which is outside the norm Walt If the Carver ASL's are keepers then your autoworkers will come into play when the Hurricanes are up and running |

Yes. A cool way to get current while the amplifiers just have to provide voltage. They could work with your SS amps. Without having to source heavy current you gain headroom from the power supply that you would have normally. Just a thought. |

I think you would be surprised how they sound even with the crappy sounding DSP. Not as musical as the maggies were but not terrible. A better analog electronic xover should be an improvement. If it does then maybe this will be the incentive I need to dig back into the Hurricanes and dump the mediocre Odyssey Kismet's Klause built for me |
