Please help with Klipschorn/Oris combo (BD-Design)

Hi, JBryan,

I don't know if my experience will be helpful to you, but since I am
using similar speakers I will tell you how I am doing it.

I am listening to Oris 150 horns driven by AER MD3s powered by Cary
Audio 2A3 SET monoblocks and Klipschorn bass corner horns powered by NYAL
Moscode 600 hybrid amps. A DEQX PDC 2.6 digital crossover/time
alignment/equalizer/room correction device ties things together.

Before I got the DEQX I had no luck at all getting the transition
between the Klipschorns and the Oris 150s to be close enough to seamless
for the system to be listenable. With the DEQX, espescially its time
alignment capabilities, the transition became virtually seamless and the
sound became wonderful. It might be possible to accomplishment the same
sort of sound by "old fashioned" means, but I wasn't able to do so.

Good Listening,
Don Reid

Don,
I just noticed your comments above. I had the DEQX from its first availability and used it for a couple of years in a variety of multi-way prototype systems. However I thought it tended to reduce dynamics somewhat. Have you found that to be the case or not now that some time has passed. For example , it makes the ORIS absolutely flat but seems to take some life out.
Thanks,
Bob Figlio
