real DIYers have solder pots. noob.

ok, hold my hand now... that means the PSU is working as it was configured.

Well, not really, Tyll. I was using the word "control" in the same context as Dreadhead did. You can very much choose order which results in non-linearities without really caring what the resulting curve is, when building a passive crossover. You might not like what you have to do in terms of driver choice, or time alignment, but it's doable (btw, driver choice is perhaps even more critical in a DSP scenario, that's why the people that Dreadhead mentioned above contact out their driver design). In a DSP scenario, like Dreadhead mentioned, this is harder. You have to actually control the curve itself in order to deal with the non linearities that the system itself inserts into the chain.

Just measure the voltage across each Zener.

I dont need to control phase, I just want it to be without nonlinearites. Even if you needed to, which I argue you don't, there is an analog limitation with DSP: you cannot control impedance response with DSP. However, this is a very useful thing to control in speaker design.

Sure it can, just like you can do both happily without DSP. It all comes down to implementation. People typically cite DSP as a cure all and have never sat down and actually done it to understand the challenges associated in getting it done right.

It's the truth

Nope. Digital isn't some panacea, it has it's own share of issues. Time delay isn't the same as phase coherence, are you sure you understand what you're talking about?

This has it's own issues. Many drivers don't work well with slow slopes, so they don't integrate well, so you really need custom drivers I'd you go this route, something that isn't available to most of us.

A bit of Royal Canadian

Perhaps the better question is what is the output impedance range of the attenuator. Regardless, should be fine looks like a good implementation.

No. First order is the only option. Typically active are LR2 at the best and usually higher orders, not better at all in terms of phase.

Indeed. However, I've had enough Fi-Bars for two people, perhaps find another good supplement

Meh, I cannot get it so it's dead to me.

This. The Kuchan is top notch stuff. Perhaps Jim can try this with the Bluemen (sp?) eau-de-vie .. I want to get a white agricole. I saw the St. James in town recently, probably will grab it a some point, it's the only agricole I've seen here. The St. Clement XO is on the wish list as well, the VSOP makes a heck of a rum old fashioned..

Needs hot water and a lemon peel!!! moar cocktails!

Damn Al, that one is nice. I really like Benedictine though, so perhaps that is why it stuck a chord. Where is everyone else? More cocktails!

Cheers Al! Did what I could do for the Monk's Revenge!

Thats a nice one. I considered using Ransom, and I'm not sure what it would have been like, but I'm tempted. Personally, I'm glad I didn't use a dry gin.

ATTENTION! 2 oz gin ¼ oz absinthe ¼ oz dry vermouth ¼ oz violette 2 dashes Regan’s orange bitters stir with ice strain into an iced cocktail glass garnish with a lemon twist

Biamping does nothing to change the phase of a crossover.

If amps sound different, then biamping must make a difference. For example, using a tube amp on a tweeter and solid state amp on the woofer in a two way.

There aren't any compensation caps. You want the bypass caps to be .1uF ceramic, probably np0/c0g.

you can always petition for a cocktail only thread

You might consider longer landings for the relays, if it's even possible. That greatly aids assembly.
