I got fed up with Linn Akurate subs failing on me so I bought a KEF KC62 because it's really small, and then another one.
I can't help suspecting that the AD-DSP-DA path through these subs has some kind of compromising effect on a good vinyl signal. Some kind of freshness, presence or credibility seems to get lost when I feed speakers from the high pass output of the KC62. Consequently I started feeding them only with the lower bass output from my active crossovers, which seemed to give a better result, but I'm now unsure whether there is some kind of delay in the KC62's high pass digital circuit.
Would I be better off making a custom interconnect which splits the lower bass output to both lower bass driver and KC62 so that the KC62's DSP doesn't feed the lower bass amp? What's the downside to driving two 'amps' from a single RCA line output?
Does anybody have views about the different ways to feed signal to a sub alongside other speakers? Is there a significant delay in a DSP sub like a KC62 which affects correct phase alongside a crisp analogue signal?
