Any Dynaudio Gemini owners ?

[H o m e r]

Hi guys,

First of all, sorry for my english, i'm french

I 've got a DIY Dynaudio Gemini pair with 15w75 woofers and D260 tweeter and the original Dynaudio crossover (-6db).

I'm searching to improve the gemini's crossover : do you know any better solution ?

I 've been told of the Dennis Murphy's second order Xover and the BESL fourth order crossover (not very cheap) .

What else ?

And what about serie's crossovers for the geminis ?


By the way, could you describe the amplifier and source associated with your geminis ?


Thanks.

How about replaing the passive xo with an active one?

I now have 8 15w75 to be used in an active setup.
Let's stay in touch!

I do have a Dynaudio Nuance setup (in my case a Esotec D260 with a 17w-75xl06).

I have built a JLH 10W amplifier with four amplifiers in one housing. I'm almost finished with this, apart from a slight humming problem caused by the transformers. But I think I can solve this.

Last weekend I modified my loudspeakers, I took the filter outside the cabinet and placed a biwiring terminal in the cabinet.
Still not bi-amping right now, soon to come.

I do not think that the passive filters can be changed for the better, apart from more expensive components perhaps. The time delay circuit for the tweeter seems to be a perhaps weak part of the circuit.

My idea is to go active and right now I'm in the phase of gaining knowledge and good ideas.

My thoughts right now:
adjustable 1st order but in front of the amplifers
perhaps a buffer
don't know what to do with the time delay.

Dynaudio active xo?

Dear Boessenkool (sounds very dutch)

Many active xo's also have delays (see Rane ac series).
Cheap too!


Good luck!
