“The satellites run at their full range”

Hi Tony,

“The low bass is filled in with a floor positioned Focal subwoofer” + “The satellites run at their full range”.

Do I understand correctly that in your system the Focal sub + the Focal Twin 6be ’s, both are doing the ultra low end?
So both are doing < 150 Hz?
Why do you use that configuration?

Why not cut off the bass signal too the Focal Twin 6be ’s at 150 Hz with help of the Focal Subwoofer internal low pass filter?
So the Focal Sub is only doing lower than 150 Hz.
And the Focal Twin 6be are only do the higher than 150 Hz.

That way the Focal Twin 6be’s satellites will receive much less very low bass frequency’s and thus the Focal Twin 6be’s cones will not have too do long excursions too also produce these ultra low bass frequencies which is very beneficial for the sound quality in the lower mids.

I asked if you have tried, because a friend of mine uses the Focal Subwoofer too keep away > 150 Hz frequencies from his satellites with help of the Focal Subwoofer internal low pass filter. Which turns out to be very beneficial for the lower mids coming from his satellites.

I also tried his Focal subwoofer in my setup for 6 weeks with the K&H O300’s.
The K&H O300's are famous for there very clean mids, but keeping the > 150 Hz frequencies away from my K&H O300 with help of the Focal Subwoofer internal low pass filter, also gave a nice sound quality improvement in the (lower) mids section with the K&H O300’s.

How about your setup? Have you tried this?
