Basically, When the amplifier sends a signal to your Carver AL-III's 10-inch woofer, the cone moves. Because a speaker is a motor (voice coil in a magnetic field), this movement induces a voltage that flows back into the amplifier. Damping Factor: The ratio of speaker impedance to the...

OK... So, still Dipol and Ribbon not E-stat and still emphasizing speaker placement... 30+ years old and needs 300+ Watts per channel to "really sing"... Bob Carver, has suggested 500–1000WPC to prevent clipping and drive the 48-inch ribbon drivers to their full potential without...

I hope you don't mind if I ask, what specific speaker make and model are you testing? I see a label "Carver" are these Open Baffle Electrostatic by any chance? And if you don't mind, are you powering these with a B&O icePower amp that puts out how many Watts per channel... It would be fun to...

It sounds like you have things well thought out... And if a flat target sounds good to your ears then that is all that counts... :T

Interesting bit of kit, :cool:... An article in stereophile.com suggests "Frequency response: 40Hz–15kHz ±2dB over 180°. Lowest useable output: 35Hz." I saw another article suggesting the crossover between the Stat panel and the separate Subwoofers (SW-1) was 100Hz... And your using MSO for...

So tell us more about your space and kit...

Still not saying much about your kit... I have ML ESLs and an SVS sub, so I get that there are some interesting issues with crossovers... However, without specifics about your ESLs and your Subwoofer and if you are using some sort of Digital Player Software with your kit, I will bow out...

I would also suggest an SVS sub... Maybe even the New 3000 Micro Revolution Subwoofer... Which is really two subs in one... Martin Logan was one of the first to come up with this configuration... And it seems to be outrageously good...
