Better half left to play Mahjong and backgammon with her friends…..now I just wait for delivery of drivers and components.
Perhaps consider incorporating a little padding as the parallel resistance would introduce damping to additionally protect for your planar at low frequencies.
Just under 2 dB of attenuation would be hardly noticeable, and would be obtained with R1 = 1.5 ohm and R2 = 33 ohm for your 8 ohm planar.
Update: After living with the speaker for two months I’ve really appreciated the midrange spl forward sound for movie and television dialog; but y’all were right….when I want to listen to music, there are some songs with tones in the mid treble that can get fatiguing.
Figured a nice compromise would be to DSP activate when listening to music, then disable the DSP when watching movies/television.
Measured and calibrated the speaker with REW and PEQdB at the listening position, then applied a hybrid of PEQdB generated correction under 500 Hz to lift the woofer decibels, then used a modified Harman target to tune the upper ranges down a bit.
Really enjoyed the process. Thanks again for the expertise; could have never learned this much in such a short span of time without it.
