hi,

can anyone enlighten me on this elliptical crossover? i've read on CDT audio website about how elliptical crossover can direct the cleanest sound to our tweeters and woofers but i could not find any topic regarding this on local forums.

i have audiolux speakers with dynaudio tweeters, and now im figuring what crossover would suit the best for my budget

so anyone has experience on picking up crossovers to match to different speakers and tweeters?

dunno if its a good thing so the sound quality, i havent try these or create one of these.

but the idea sound went straight dead at the cross-point. very similar to digital way of operation. layman's term, its either on or off.

similarly, you could achieve this through a high slope number(30db/oct and higher), but it will still be much slower decline of signal compared to elliptical xover.

but personally i like lower slope value, gives the music more energy and emotion. personal preference, just sharing.

different xover circuit gives different characteristics, the best thing to find is xover board with the xover points you wan, and the components are of low tolerance levels.

correct me if i am wrong.
