Southern Lights (Acapella Violon)Hi VN, sorry for the late response. I don't often come to Agon these days. You are correct, if you get an active external crossover, each channel will have to have its own power amp. posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
Southern Lights (Acapella Violon)Hi VN, I would highly doubt if it would be transparent enough above 100Hz to not lose any detail. I would suggest you do what I did - bypass the internal crossover, get an active external crossover... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |

Southern Lights (Acapella Violon)Hi Kotjac, I am thinking of removing the padding resistor for the midrange horn! I am not sure how to get at it. I would suspect that it lives in the flange where it slots into the bass cabinet. Wo... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |
Southern Lights (Acapella Violon)I have finally completed surgery on the bass cabinet and installed a new driver, replacing the standard drivers that came with the Acapella. The work was done by SGR Audio, a speaker design company... posted almost 13 years ago | View comment | |

Southern Lights (Acapella Violon)That's a good idea kotjac, except that the speaker will not sum up to be flat at the crossover point if I did that. Still, it is only a matter of pulling out a plug. I might try that later :) posted about 13 years ago | View comment | |
Southern Lights (Acapella Violon)Hi Kotjac, I used a 48dB/oct slope for all crossover points. The Marchand allows me to do that. You are correct that the speakers have two woofers in the cabinet, but the second woofer was ... posted about 13 years ago | View comment | |
Southern Lights (Acapella Violon)Mickep, the JL Audio can be integrated until it is more or less blended - so the crossover point is not measurable, nor is it audible. FWIW I have just completed a pretty substantial upgrad... posted about 13 years ago | View comment | |

Morrow Audio systemHi Morrow, beautiful system. I have an earlier version of the Acapella Violon. I love the speakers, but have had trouble finding a suitable amp to drive them with. At the moment I am using Cary CAD... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |

Southern Lights (Acapella Violon)Kevin, I have to hang my head in shame. I am using a Behringer CX2310 crossover to remove signal from the main speakers. This means - I have a $100 crossover inserted in the signal path in a system... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |
Southern Lights (Acapella Violon)Hi Kevin, thanks for the response. I haven't updated my system in a while, but I have now inserted a pair of JL Audio F110 subwoofers. A crossover sits between the preamp and power amp, and removes... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |

Southern Lights (Acapella Violon)Thanks Jack, you are right - the DEQX will introduce delay of its own. I did not think of that. Thanks to your response, I had to google up some audio delay circuitry, to see whether it would be po... posted almost 16 years ago | View comment | |

Southern Lights (Acapella Violon)I should probably clarify that the above experiment was suggested by another audiophile (Mark, are you there) who visited me. One of the benefits of having a community of audiophiles in your town :) posted almost 16 years ago | View comment | |
