I just bought a Behringer CX 3400 stereo 3 way active cross. I put in a CD I know very well and didn't like the way it sounded at all. I have it as a 2 way at the moment but am getting my 300B ready to do the mids.
I don't think the SE EL-34 was clipping on the Heil AMT-1, but maybe. I know the PP EL-34 amp was not clipping on the Altec 416s. I didn't have this with just the PP and a high and low pass using caps and chokes. I think it could be the active cross.
Some things sound quite good, but that is at 85 db or lower. I get it up in the 90s and close to 100 it starts to get garbled. I will listen to it more tomorrow and pay more attention to volume levels and types of music. The disc I played a while ago was the last of Johnny Cash's recordings, and I know it is of high quality. I should have the hair standing up on my arms instead of turning it down so I can stand to listen to it.
I haven't had the Behringer long and should be able to return it, but what should I get? This is a great disappointment.
