Gary...
This is the audio hobby - there is no such thing as overkill.

So I guess Pass Labs and V1 it is. Thank you guys.

Pass lab xvr1 is the best. It's actually a Class A design pre-amp in a sense. It certainly operates in class A at all times. The level of flexibility is near infinite. This is at a cost though, as explained before, you will probably need a lot of help and many hours tweaking it with a room acoustics software. It is not as easy adjust as other xovers because almost everything is inside the box. You can buy two modules and run your setup 3 way, you would need another pair of amps and bypass internal xovers of your speakers.
I don't think CR-1 is much inferior. Even the Bryston 10b is a vast improvement over the built in passive networks in subwoofers. I like V1 but if your room needs a lot of correction, V2 is more capable in that(of course you give up all analog system) |

Note: running subs all analog vs digital with dsp is probably give or take the same. On a blind test, perhaps no one could tell. Mine is just the typical ocd, once I know the signal is molested, it doesn't matter if it sounds better

Thank you substance. Also the cost of the pass labs is cheaper than the cr-1. I will ask my dealer on what he thinks about this too. This is really a great help. Do you think my Accuphase E470 is good enough using the pass labs since you mentioned about amps.

This is a valid opinion, however, it is almost assuming that there is no negative to running the analog signal through all of the additional interconnects and circuitry. Also, the filters in the analog domain are no where near as phase correct as digital filters. In my experience, running through all the additional analog circuitry and cabling is far more damaging to the signal than converting to digital and back, and your control is not nearly as precise. |
