I just bought a Dbx driverack 260 (it hasnt arrived yet) and im keen to tune the Magnepan 2.7 qrs that i have to the smallish room that i have and want to run the high pass filter at about 60hz and maybe use the eq to tune it to the room a little and was going to run an output to the sub at a 60hz low pass point. I bought an old Carver pm 1.5 to power the maggies and it sounds far better than the class a monoblocks and the 200w adcom 555se I had before it. Its all being controlled by a computer running Jriver media centre through a Nad dac preamp-is anyone else using loudspeaker management systems like this and what is your setup?
You are about to see a whole new world of possibilities. But you need a stable basis of measurement to work iteratively. That typically means REW and a mic boom stand. BTW, even your laptop mic will be OK.
With your mic where your head will be when listening, you want to run each driver or speaker at low power with no EQ or XO in order to see their inherent band of performance. That leads to choosing XO freq and using steep slopes for the filtering. Then modest EQ for a few troublesome bumps in the resulting freq plot for L and R.
