Hey from Germany. Recently built my first set of speakers.

Hi there,

recently built my first set of speakers.

Speakers
FAST System with TB W8-2145, Dayton RSS315HF4
both in closed enclosures.
Surround with TB W4

No passive crossovers - all done in PC for active crossovers, EQ and DSP

DACs
DAC Topping DX3Pro
MOTU M2
Realtek Soundcard
maybe Multichannel DAC/Audio Interface in future

Software:
Windows 10
Voicemeeter Potato
Cantabile for VST Plugins for Crossover and EQ
REW
maybe CamillaDSP in future

Amplifiers:
Marantz PM11-S1
Fosi V3
SMSL SA.98E

surely I got many questions. At the moment struggling with different latencies due to running my signals through different DACs at the same time.

Note: we are working to replace the poorly devized term “FAST” with WAW (woofer Assited Widerange) since it is more descriptive of the actuial goal. Your midTweeter is quite large.

Do you use the PC to try to EQ out some of the colouration on this midTweeter?

Thanks. New acronyms are always welcome! And yes its large and the sweet spot is small.

Yes. Crossover (250Hz) and EQ, as well as latency correction as I am using different DACs and a soundcard in parallel.
Latency correction being the biggest problem at the moment. Didn´t find a proper way to measure this. Totally surprised how difficult it is to hear the differences.
EQ filtering initially done with REW automatic filtering (which resulted in up to 14 EQ-bands) - at the moment only very subtle correction (3 bands).
