Rick an acquaintance has recently purchased a nice big three way.(it sounds & looks nice...not an AC member or Mfg. associated with AC.)and he states that the XO design resistively shunts amplifier current around the driver."This gives the amplifier a less reactive, lower impedance load. It alsogives the crossover network a less reactive, lower impedance load.Finally it provides the driver with a less reactive, lower impedancesource."...indeed his hovers around 3.0-5.5 ohms.The Ottavo likewise has some low impedance swings.Is this a reasonable approach?
Is there any reason to consider using a subwoofer with the Ottavo in a stereo setup? The graphs on the Selah site are a bit confusing as to what the typical minus 3db and 10db measurements are. Maybe mid-30s for -3 and 30 for -10? Just to be clear I don't listen to pipe organ music so don't need that depth of bass.
I absolutely love non-book matched veneer. So much more custom looking. Fantastic look.
Well alrighty then Carl. How about some orange racing stripes?
Just wondering, are the RAAL ribbon tweeters also available with the optional amorphous core transformer? If the RAAL 70-20XR is an optional substitute for the 70-10D ribbon in this new Selah Audio speaker, is it available with the amorphous core -- or in your opinion is the standard RAAL transformer just as good, & therefore, more 'cost effective'? Would the bigger 70-20XR interface better with the 5" Accuton midrange in the low trebles, say, around 2 to 3 kHz area?Bill
