![]() ![]() My attempts are aimed to balance the power as by simple rule of thumb, tweeters are to be fed lowest power, mids a little higher and then max to lows. So what does one sonically lose if one connects two mids (or two highs) in series? So a count of eight drivers total for stereo. To further clarify, its a stereo set up with each mid-high cabinet houses a total of four drivers, two mids and two tweeters. So I can play with options of connecting two mids in series or parallel and again option of connecting tweeters in series or parallel. I have a 6 channel Rotel amp, 60 watts RMS each for this. (wanted to to try 310Hz and 3100Hz XO as vehemently proposed by Elliot but that would have meant overlapping mids and highs which was not possible). To be fed thru active Linkwitz Riley 24db, crossed at 3400Hz and 340Hz for a three way set up. Two mids, can be connected in series or parallel. Two tweeters, can be connected in series or parallel. I do not know if someone has ever attempted such set up. Though I have no gears for measurements and they are also not yet complete or finalised. The sound is clear, bass is punchy and the vocals and highs and lows seem to fill everywhere I move around the house, unlike directional as in case of MTM's. However when I played them as two way bookshelf, they sounded amazing ! The woofers are in a separate bass-reflex cabinet. The objective is to go active, for 3 way floor standers. This is to balance the power to be fed to drivers, the TT and MM, taking into account of load as seen by amp as a combination of their sensitivities plus impedance. ![]() No crossovers inside but I can play with the net impedance by either connecting them in series (that each of two TT and MM) or parallel. It actually looks like a simple TM design from front but is mirrored at the back. Its a kind of design which I believe, has no issues of lobing and takes care of baffle step correction. ![]()
