RE: Tweeter difference problem with 3.3Rs and more

Hi Satie,
Thanks again for the great info, Many Thanks for the phase explanation, - makes sort of sense to me! (for once), - Yes I need to adjust the phase then when using the 3rd order Butterworth LP to get the crossover point to sound right, and play with the freqnecueis. So when I adjust the phase do I just try all the way from 0 to 180? It works in steps of 5 degree inrements. Should I test at like 0, 45, 90, 135 and 180 or just tune by ear? Never done this before.
The LR I was taking about trying with the Behringer was for 2nd order like you suggested earlier today, - not tried it yet, only Bessel and Butterworth. Bessel worked better.

So is this why the 2nd order LP seems to blend better with the 3.3Rs at the moment? Is the phase setting less of an issue with that, - I guess it is easier to blend 2nd order LP with a 2nd order HP, than using a 3rd order LP with 2nd order HP.

Thanks as well for the very interesting explanation of why Magnepan use 3rd order in the bass as its easier on the amp than 2nd order. Is this mainly true in single drive speaker level passive mode?, - if you hook the bass amp directly up to the panel in active or PLLXO is a second order LP crossover less of a problem? I understand now why the stock 2.7 is hard to drive as its 2nd order in the bass.

Thanks for the info on where to look for pots, - will get on it.
Cheers again,
Colin
