Haha ... tried it on the woofers (only). Original setup IS correct Hoping to try @Chris A's filters next

Haha ... will try And hope don't blow my 510

Darn ... some guests just arrived ... haha, my wife informed me I have to "stay" and not play with my stereo Sorry; will try the equalizer adjustments tomorrow. Many, many thanks for all the help. Cheers, Emile

OK; loaded into miniDSP channel 3&4 ... will try shortly ... have to feed my wife first

Thank you Chris ... AWESOME. Small question ... assume I put these in the Parametric EQ's (output 3&4)

Well, that did not work miniDSP says "Your biquad in your input file is not correctly formatted." Found another .txt file from an REW test I did with my Cornwall's ... reads as below ... no clue hoe to put Chris' numbers into this biquad1, b0=0.9905020420057294, b1=-1.9796369681078865, b2=0.989238381654187, a1=1.9796369681078865, a2=-0.9797404236599164, biquad2, b0=1.0023540601136967, b1=-1.9973351447848358, b2=0.9950567601560919, a1=1.9973351447848358, a2=-0.9974108202697883, biquad3, b0=0.9760603225014789, b1=-1.7224370293255478, b2=0.8644258402549714, a1=1.7224370293255478, a2=-0.8404861627564504, biquad4, b0=0.9790833807883182, b1=-1.9015934574485598, b2=0.9423218411823171, a1=1.9015934574485598, a2=-0.9214052219706351, biquad5, b0=0.9998391405819421, b1=-1.9988621118651455, b2=0.9990592871108847, a1=1.9988621118651455, a2=-0.9988984276928269, biquad6, b0=1.0, b1=0.0, b2=0.0, a1=0.0, a2=0.0

Thank you Chris OK; cannot manually multiple inputs into this cheap box Trying to import a .txt file to it with 1000 -8.3 1700 -3.4 3200 -4.9 11200 3.0 Hope I can try this later today Haha ... test file name is Chris_1.txt Thanks, Emile

Bypassing miniDSP to Forte's gives "clean" sound with miniDSP to 510's being "dirty/distorted." Anyway I can try the 510's "direct" without blowing them up ... bass minimum on both preamp and amp????

Coming from my pre-amp ... certainly not more than 2V ... plus this miniDSP is a cheap $100 box

Many thanks All p-arametric eq's bypassed Routing # 1 In to 0ut 1&3, 2 In to Out 2&4 ... 1&2 to Fortes, 3&4 to 510's Crossover 1&2 to Fortes, 3&4 to 510's Xover 2 same as above Xover 4 same as above. Was playing with crossover slopes also ... 48 dB seemed worse than 24dB, worse than 12dB; no clue Thanks, Emile

Tried some different crossover settings ... First, to make sure (something) is working, I bypassed the xover settings on the L/R, output 3&4 to the Forte's. Haha; great sound (obviously as before). Reset the low Forte xover to 800Hz ... not great. Added the 510 high xover at 700Hz. Something is wrong ... trying to describe it ... this applies to both speakers ... sounds like it is playing an old record with a very bad needle ... single tones sound like they are spread over more than just a single tone, resulting in an almost scratchy sound ... sounds like they are not synchronized ... ???? (And yes; tried it without the miniDSP and all is fine ). Anyway to test the 510's without this miniDSP? Guess I could try some passive crossovers ... but all those have a slow 12dB/oct slope ... thought I needed 48dB/oct. ????? Thanks, Emile

Chris, Thaks a million Will take you up o your offer But first ??? see below

Thanks John. Yeah ... "tinny" and "scratchy" like a 1" speaker Was thinking I might have to do a (for example) <600Hz and >400Hz xover ... but really have no clue Was just my observation after I hooked it up Will measure ... was just trying to get a bit closer using my ears

Yes, will do. Have a Umik and REW ready to go. But ... sound is so bad was hoping to get closer first

Haha, Tom ... Thanks! That's why this beginner was asking for help from the pros Setup is very simple ... thought I described it, but here is more detail ... Source is NAD CD player; analog RCA to JVC P-3030 pre-amp; analog RCA to miniDSP. MiniDSP; nothing "set" except xover of < 500Hz to channel 1&2, feeding Forte I's via a Kenwood vintage amp. Did not disconnect any of the Forte's internal crossover. Also, 2nd xover set to >500Hz, onto channel 3&4, feeding the 501's via a vintage Marantz 1060. (BTW, both amps sound flawless when connected directly to the preamp to the Forte's.) Pretty sure I used a LR filter on the miniDSP with a 48dB slope. Thought this setup would give me a straight level gain across the 500Hz region, but it seems to be lacking there (OK; just to my ears.) Therefore was questioning whether I should do the first xover to say <600Hz and the second to >400Hz.. Understand (I think ) Will do measurements with a Umik mike and REW. But, sound is just too horrible now ... no measurements needed to decide it is horrible No; do not have any values ... Thanks, Emile

Haha ... have KPT's and had several other Pro line speakers ... but never tried the 2 amp route Is that including shipping?

Thanks ... have heard both good and bad about the miniDSP. Thought this system was simple enough for it. Had not heard about these Ashly's ... haha, at least you are not making me buy a Xilica

Thanks WMcD ... that's exactly how I set it up ... and got the "bad" sound. Was wondering if I should have "overlapping" frequency ranges ???

Hi All, Was hoping to get some advise ... haha, before I sell these 510/691's Have a set of KPT-904's and think they are AWESOME ... so; bought 510's (new ones with mumps) and 691's ( equivalent to B&C DE75's). Hooked them up via a miniDSP ... >500Hz (via a Marantz 1060) to the 510's and <500Hz to Forte I's (via a Kenwood KR-4070). Using a LR filter at 48d slope. Using a JVC P-3030 pre-amp (which supposedly is pretty good). But ... horrible sound ... 510's just sound "tinny." "scratchy," and more like $2 speakers Of course the Forte's sound pretty bad also No clue if I am completely off with the 500Hz xover settings ... will try some different ones Hoping to get some advise Many thanks, Emile

Add-on ... the 510 horns on my KPT-904's seem to have a much "fuller" sound as compared to the 510's on my miniDSP. Of course I have no clue about the KPT-904 xover settings ... anyone? Could it be that I am just way to aggressive with a >500Hz & <500Hz setting (LR filter at 48dB slope). ??????? Thanks, Emile

First test ... using miniDSP ... K510's (on a Marantz 1060) set to over 500Hz and Forte's (on a Kenwood KR-4070) to < 500Hz ... sounds horrible ... sounds scratchy and ill defined Hope to play with some different xover configurations tomorrow ... any suggestions?

Thanks to @Khornukopia , I've got brackets. Jeez ... not "German" engineering ... thought the brackets would "balance" the horns+drivers ... nah; they fall over (to the front) ... so, have to put a piece of wood on it . But ... will be GREAT!

https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Belt-Kit-Teac-2300/dp/B072LDFM6L ... haha, $20 ... and LUBE the linkage and rollers

Awesome set at a great value Someone will be VERY HAPPY with this. Wish I was closer

Awesome display! Sorry, but just HAVE TO ask (since I'll probably will buy a new display "later") ... know these wide displays are great for blu-ray movies, but how annoying are the black side bars when watching regular tv? Cheers, Emile
