[QUOTE="Rodney_gold, post: 96692, member: 579"] The Krk's were an experiment cos I got bored , They under 10 grand active and they are great value for the money in that respect - but they aren't equal to my (now sold) ATC SCM50 actives or my Meridan DSP5500's. Their midrange is not as good as a 3 way and when driver real loud and hard , things start to go adrift. The point of it all was for 20k , I put together a system with a sub + 2 speakers, a front end (logitech touch) , a pre , a dac , a headphone amp , 300 w of amplification , an AD , a room correction unit and all cabling , a real self contained system that for anyone starting out that is a really great buy and you would struggle to match for double that price. I built lots of speakers in the distant past - the last set being a Linn Isobarik clone - but that was at least 15 yrs ago - before the modern era of simulations , easy measurements etc. I did have a set of Linkwitz orions here briefly about 2 months ago , a home build supposed to rival the best - but I didn't like the sound ..... I have fiddled with various drivers etc - changed drivers in my DSP5500's to better SEAS units - got some improvements , meridian kindly sent me the DSP code to change x/over pts and gains to integrate new drivers - also sent me a caveat that they take no responsibility for mess ups - and I made a mess up - by mistake sent full signal to the 4x 8" magnesium excell woofers I was trying and had bypassed the software protection at the time and blew em all.. :) [/QUOTE]
