RE: Analog only

Thanks a lot for the info Josh, - suppose it does not sound too hard...!, - I will give it a go though I reckon! I'll start with sotck crossover points and take it from there
Do you think the bass equilisation etc you can do with the DCX2496 will really make a huge difference to the overall sound in one's particular room? I knwo you've not used the DCX2496 yourself but I guess you've probabyl used seomthign similar.

I have a Quad 66 preamp I just bought to go with my Quad 606 (driving my 2.7s, - not got the 3.3Rs yet). The spectral tilt tone control on this preamp is better than any other tone control I have ever used and works wonders with the 2.7s in my room (I use a profile that raises post 1Khz and lowers below 1Khz). I think the 2.7s have a falling frequency response tendency in my room (they sound dark and a bit bloated), and this tilt control really does work wonders to fix the problem to a large extent!. Its an invaluable control for anyone using dipole speakers I think, - particularly as its so easy to use, - its up or down and that's it, - a toddler could use it! I guess I can try to change things using the Behringer but if I get stuck I can still use this great and very easy adjustment on the Quad preamp to equalise the Maggies in my room.
Saite says full triamping Maggies obviously give you better even better control to finely adjust things if you have a rising or falling FR tendency in your room (as you can adjust the relative volume of each section with triamping) but until I get there I live do without this tilt control! Now I've experienced this there is no way going back to a preamp without it! Might sell most of my other preamps actually!

All the best,
Colin

Cheers,
Colin
