Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo ISO Looking for an Axiom DSP1 for LFR1100's

Mojo. why would the LFR passive have a different crossover than the M100 on the front? it wouldn't make any sense as why would the be doing any sound alteration inside a crossover when it is far more possible to do any sound changes inside the DSP.

From what I understood, it's not that they are cutting out some parts of the sound and frequencies from the front and sending that sound out to the back. More that they are reproducing some of the sounds / frequencies that the front part of the speaker is making, and sending them out the back speakers with a very specific "secret sauce" alteration to timing so that the sound from the back gives a perfectly timed echo to what was made out the front giving you size and depth. I remember the Mirage Omni speakers but as they didn't have any of the electronics and DSP that the LFR have, it did give a more open sound, but was difficult as it really depended on the placement inside a room and the rooms dynamics.

Perhaps you can enlighten us in your engineering analysis of the crossover differences between the M100 and the LFR1100 so that we can all be better educated by your knowledge.
