Hi Drew!
-> Were you asleep when you wrote this? I've never seen any speakers
-> before that used 125 Mhz cutoffs. It's just a tad high :-)
Ya know, you try to make transitions from your main speakers to the subs
with as little overlap and gap as is possible. What you think is not
important, what is is making the subs match the main and be seamless,
that is what is important. If you mains are cutting out above 120 as my
Klipsch 250A's do with the -3dB, a sub crossover must match that
precisely to sound right without gaps in coverage and frequency
response.
The fact that both you and I would rather see the subs work at a lower
frequency than that doesn't make much difference, and dropping the Fc to
80Hz would leave a good 1/3 to 1/2 octave that isn't directly covered
right, and that would be a crime to a decent sound system.
Subs have to match the mains above them, otherwise what good are they if
you have lots of rumble yet nothing above it until the mains come in.
Does this not make any sense to you?
