Recommended Posts

On a 3 way floor standing speaker, is is usualy a good frequency response for the Tweeter, Midrange, and Subwoofer?

------------------

K6-2 450

SB Live Value ( not 5.1)

Klipsch Pro Media v2 400 ( soon to be 4.1 )

2 Fisher STV-873's on front channel

2 Fisher surrounds on rear channel

That's a really impossible question to answer. Just to highlight the differences between a few good three way speakers:

the Klipschorn:

FREQUENCY RESPONSE: 35Hz-17.5kHz±3dB

HIGH FREQUENCY CROSSOVER: 6000Hz

MID-FREQUENCY CROSSOVER: 400Hz

This implies that the woofer covers 35Hz to 400Hz, the midrange 400Hz to 6000Hz, and the tweeter 6000Hz to 17.5kHz.

the B&W Nautilus 801

Frequency Range -3dB at 29Hz and 22kHz

Crossover frequencies 350Hz and 4kHz

This implies that woofer covers 29Hz to 350Hz, the midrange 350Hz to 4000Hz, and the tweeter 4000Hz to 22kHz.

the Avantgarde Duo

Frequency Range 22Hz to 20kHz

Crossover Frequencies: 170Hz and 2000Hz

This implies that woofer covers 22Hz to 170Hz, the midrange 170Hz to 2000Hz, and the tweeter 2000Hz to 20kHz.

the Vandersteen 2Ce

Frequency Range 32Hz to 21kHz

Crossover Frequencies: 600Hz and 5000Hz

This implies that woofer covers 32Hz to 600Hz, the midrange 600Hz to 5000Hz, and the tweeter 5000Hz to 21kHz.

All excellent speakers, all sound very different, all have passionate, ardent followers, but all use very, very different construction based on very different design and engineering priciples.

Do those look like they would be good speakers?

What exactly is Polypropylene?

Do you have any ideas for me? Any speakers you like and think I should get?

This would cost me nearly 300 dollers for all the speakers.

For that Price I could buy a pair of Paradigm Titans that I've had my eye on.

I already have a 10 or 12 inch woofer thats already on the Fisher speaker that I think I'll keep on for extra bass.

Also I was looking at this:

Would that be a good thing to add?

What does it do?
