150w passive or 50+50w ACTIVE for RSd65CSs???

Post by icehole »

What do you guys think would sound better?

Also, what power configuration would be ideal for running those actively???

Thanks!

Go active. The xover will eat up roughly 20% of the power you're feeding them and at 150 watts, that leaves you w/120 watts. I highly doubt you'll notice the difference in power. Plus there's more tune-ability going active.
"ZPA's will have the same sound essentially as you get from the MS, they just feature a bigger shinier set of balls."

With the RSDs, I do not believe there is any special filtering in the crossover to worry about... so I would probably recommend active as well.
