I’ve had a little experiment with hi-passing my speakers using a Schiit Loki EQ. I kept turning down my sub until I realised it was basically off and it was the bass from the speakers that was sounding bad.
I’ve removed the speaker level connection to the sub and replaced it with an RCA from the preamp sub out, separating the sub from the power amp. I’ve then put the EQ between preamp and power amp and cut the bass out.
It functions correctly and seems cleaner right away. I’ll have to fidget with it for a few months before I can decide whether it’s worthwhile.
I like that it’s all done in the analogue area and it’s just knobs to twiddle. I do have a MiniDSP but I don’t want to adjust it by computer, plus it’s the all digital one so that means another box each side of it for the digital conversion.
