Thanks Bert! (Off Topic)

Hi Jim,

Do you have the recommended specs for such a filter?

In your situation you can replace the input capacitor of your amplifier
(for the AER's) to a much smaller one. That will already limit the lowest
frequencies. The value needed depends on the input impedance of that amp
but you can try to decrease the value until you detect changes in the low
mids (less bodied). With that value you have protected the driver more and
made life more easy for the amp too.

You can start with 100nF and double or half the value until you have found
the smallest without hearing too much change.

Do you think I should even bother given that I'm not watching movies

with

these speakers?

A simple test is to play a record with very deep bass and turn up the
volume while checking the movement of the AER. If it is not moving much on
your listening level then there is nothing to worry about...

Ciao,

Bert

Great, thank you Bert! You know...I've RARELY seen those AERs move...and when they do, its such a minute amount! I think I'll keep them going full-range for now.
