Hi again,


Thanks a lot to both of you for the advice. Arny,
do you have a preference between the Rane and the dbx?Scott,
I went to the HSU site and their stuff looks great!They have a new sub
that just came out, the STF-2 that may work for me now, or I might go
for the TN-1220HO in a few months.What's your take on the crossovers
Arny mentioned? Thanks,

Mike

Hello,

I think someone was asking about this recently but there was no clear
answer.I,d like to add a sub to extend the range of the A10's, so
something with a built in crossover would be good- I can spend up to
$400.Thanks for any ideas and thanks to Scott Dorsey for recommending
the A10's as they're a big improvement of the event 20/20's I used to
use.

I've been using a Rane MX-22 and or a DBX 223 24/dB crossover which allows
me to set crossover points to any frequency. The subwoofer addresses the
limitations of the A-10's at high listening levels and below 140 Hz.

I find that the A10's have a lot more dynamic range if crossed over from as
low a 80 Hz to as high as 130 Hz (24
dB/octave). A 130 Hz crossover means that the sub and the A10s have to be
pretty close together. I use the sub for a foot rest, if you catch my drift.
It also will literally flap the listener's pants legs on some recordings.
