Can't wait to listen again to your newly renovated room. Padinig ulit sir! Hows the integration of the AC tweeter with JBL 075? is it seamless like the vandersteen sub and JBL D-140 ?

Cheers

Sir Dante,
Youre right awesome sound! :D

One of the joys I had when I was in Pinas was listening to sir Val's system, complete with cheese, capers, black olives and Argentinean wine :D The sound is really awesome :D :D

Seamless integration. I wired it parallel with 075. Woofer's frequency range: infinite at the bottom and cut at 800Hz. Mirange begins at 795Hz; cut at 3Khz. JBL 075 starts 2.9Khz - infinite, but it rolls off at about 15.5Khz. AC meets up with 075 at 3khz. It gives awesome extension with its range reaching 45Khz. Vandersteen provides bass extension down to about 16Hz. Specs have all been measured accordingly. You know very well Noel that I had the REL subs before, but sold it after less than two months of use. I've never been happier with my Vandersteen. :D :D

Multi-system oftens suffer from incoherent sound. Not in my sytem. I think the sectet lies in frequency cut-off and the slope. It's better to have a little overlap. I fixed my slope for woofer and midrange at 6db per octave and 12db per octave for the tweeter. :D :D
