So far so good with the Tannoys. Not blown away, but they are very undersized crappy original cabinets. I’m probably missing the point-source revelation that a lot of people would get as I’m coming from FR speakers. None of the nasty HF stuff I got from the little Fostex, though they might have had the edge for imaging and soundstage. Need to get these up on stands at ear level though.
The miniDSP & sub are bypassed now, just trying the Tannoys IIILZ straight through. They won’t need a sub if I build 100lt ported cabinets! Not sure my wife will allow that though.
REW was interesting / frustrating. I’ve got a 41Hz room mode that’s impossible to get rid of with EQ, that’s just the way it is - though I’m not sure I’d even notice it if I didn’t know. Cleared up some other stuff but it’s definitely a learning curve, I had a bash but there’s a lot to learn and a much less heavy handed approach to be taken.
Might use the miniDSP to bi-amp the Tannoys. Another class D amp like mine is cheaper than re-doing the crossovers.
