floorstander with integrated sub

[jkrueger]

Hi all

I got mixed reviews when I asked about the DCX 2493 (did I get that right?) and how it could be used to make complicated design tasks easier. I now know that I would need to purchase many channels of amplification to make it work, and I am pretty sure that my SWMBO would not be okay with that. I need to keep things simple, and that did not seem to be the way to do it. I search the archives for "integrated subwoofer" and "onboard subwoofer" and came up with nothin'. Having said that, I am now wondering.....

Why are there not more 3-way plans out there that include an integrated, amplified woofer. Current subwoofer amp designs include phase correction, and even equalizers. Why don't more people build a monitor (like the modula MT) with a high quality bass bin underneath each one. Could a couple of amps like this http://www.solen.ca/sub500.htm not be my ticket to "fullrange" floorstanding designs without the required degree in electrical engineering? :T

Thanks

Doing this is possible. Kingpin is doing it to the extreme. Though, do so takes away the ability to place the sub in the best location within the room.

We have quite a few discussions about bass bins.

The few bands of EQ in plate amps are just enough to cause frustration.
