Hey guru's,
I think I need some help with setting up my home stereo. I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to crossovers...so I want to make sure I set everything up correctly.
I am using it strictly for a 2 speaker music listening system.
Here are the components:
Rotel RCD 951 cd player
Audio by VAN ALSTINE Transcendence Three FET- Tube Preamplifier
DAHLQUIST DQ-LP1 Variable Low-Pass Filter/Crossover
Hafler DH-200 Power Amp
MILLER AND KREISEL VX-7 Mark II Powered Subwoofer (25-50hz range I think)
Klipsch KSF 10.5 speakers (Sensitivity: 95 dB @ 1 watt/1 meter Bandwidth: 36 Hz-20 kHz±3 dB Nominal Impedance: 8 ohms Crossover Frequency: 2.2 kHz Power Handling: 100 watts maximum continuous (400 watts peak)
I believe that the above components should be hooked up in the order that they are listed...Rotel to the Pre-Amp...pre amp out to the Crossover...High Frequency Outs to the Hafler Power Amp... Low Frequency Outs to the M&K Subwoofer...then from Hafler Power Amp speaker posts, I wire to my Klipsch speakers.
Is this set up the correct way of doing things?
If so...what is the cross over setting supposed to be set to? It is pictured below.
Or do I just play around until I get the optimal bass sound?
Thank you SO SO SO much for the help...I Truly appreciate it.
Take care!
