I passive biamp my monitor audio rx6 and it definately sounds better at high volume this way. Although the crossover split is different from a 2 way. One amp drives the upper bass driver and tweeter, and the other amp drives the lower bass driver only. Doing it this way makes the impedance...

I did have a go going active with my old mordaunt short ms20i pearls using my arcam a85/p85 combo and an in car electronic crossover. Sounded pretty good but had some humming issues. Used REW to match the response as close to the passive version as possible. if i was going to have a go at...

If your interested in building your own speakers i suggest you have a look here:http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/Diy_Loudspeaker_Projects.htm Lots of designs and he goes into the pro's and con's of active and passive speakers.

off when on and on when off!

There is nothing wrong with your phone, its just the output voltage is low. This is why you need to adjust your input trim to a higher level. On the A85 you can set each input at a different trim level to adjust the sensitivity so it matches the different output levels of other sources. eg...

Push the select button 4 times, "customise settings" then push volume up to get "input trims" then set input trim to +8.

You cant passive bi-amp with 2 different amplifiers as they have different amounts of gain. Your marantz is playing louder than the abe, hense more bass weight.

Do you have the subwoofer positioned right in the corner of the room? This is usually the recomended place because it is where you get maximum room gain. If you have placed your kefs well away from corners and the back wall you will get minimal room gain (so not exciting those room modes as...

Again looking at the plot, I would be very pleased with the response you have obtained with the ls50 on their own. Although you could argue it is a few db too strong 60-150hz, it is very flat and even bar a slight rise at 65hz. Too most people a slight rise in output towards the bass end is...

Looking at your REW plots the kefs are doing well down to 50hz or so, so I think your point of crossover is way to high. Your sub is playing to much into the upper bass which is spoiling the the nice flat response of the kefs on ther own. I would set your crossover point around 40hz and...

The new pl 500 is an absolute monster! http://www.soundandvision.com/content/monitor-audio-upgrades-flagship-speaker-series#comments-link#3ZQWijfFzqo4h7vM.97

I would give the the bi-amp option a go with the rx6, The rx6 is wired a bit different from the norm. The upper terminals feed both the tweeter and the upper mid bass driver, while the lower terminal feeds the lower bass driver. When single amped the load seen by the amplifier is 4 ohms...

Does it work if you plug your cd player into the tape input?

neatest stuff to change the port tuning frequency is water pipe insulation. buy both the 15mm and 22mm and see which you like best.
