sirhutson Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 I am in need of some opinions. In my current setup i run a Pioneer 80PRS with a DD C5D running active on a Focal k2 component set. The d amp is class AB 80 X 4 at 4 ohms. I currently have an older Steg (Mosconi) K203. It's a 2 channel so i would have to introduce a crossover into the picture. But its a superbly made SQ amp which stats are as follows: 245x2 @ 4 ohm stereo 470x2 @ 2 ohm stereo 875x2@ 1 ohm stereo 940 @ 4 ohm mono 1750 @ 2 ohm mono ^ DD c5d which i currently have running active. Sounds great. Ok here is the STEG: With the steg i would have to introduce out board crossovers. But my question is do you think I will get a better experience with steg and outbaord x'overs or just stick with the active setup? boss 1200 and a ipod nano.

tboorn Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 although that amp looks beautiful, and i dont doubt its pure sq sexiness. i cant see introducing a passive crossover gaining you sound quality, you would lose to ability to control your time alignment, and ability to finitely control your crossover point, along with being able to control the power going to each speaker individually if your tweeters were harsh or something while being full active. but if you havent dont a bunch of TA and fine tuning maybe you wouldnt be able to notice as much, so go for it haha. Maybe run the steg on your midbass since you could potentially turn the gain way down which is what most SQ guys do to really increase the efficiency and quality of signal the amp produces, and run your tweeters off the c5d still....

I will eventually do TA , just havent got around to doing it. I think I will still try it and see. boss 1200 and a ipod nano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boom50cal Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 wish you did have the room for another amp... I would offer to trade off my Zapco Z300S2VX for that DD amp, so that I could run active on my front stage lol. definitely will want to get a nice little SQ demo though from you at the Noize 4 Toys event(aka fuck turkey drag) On 1/4/2013 at 9:31 PM, HatersGonnaHate said: Wow. 184 posts and I think you're a fucking asshole.

Haven't gotten to test it yet, I'll get it going here in the next week or so to make sure it's solid.
