Trying to understand...
Thanks, James. That's the one. I can't remember why I didn't proceed on this earlier. I'll probably remember soon enough.I think this is the thread you're looking for.

Thanks for stepping in with the explanation while I slept, Stefan. You're spot on.The wider the baffle, the lower the bass rolls off as the pressure wave traveling across the baffle wrap around the edges and start radiating in a 4pi space instead of just a 2pi space. It's called baffle step. The filter includes some baffle step correction hence the baffle width needs to remain about the same.
That is contentment indeed. Your 25W may be entirely adequate. I have a variety of amplifiers to play with, and I find the E-IXs definitely respond well to more power. That being said, they play in a slightly bigger room than yours, so that may be the hair-splitting difference when I power them with my 30W amp. The other thing that make the difference is your amp doubles its power into halving impedances, which translates into a truer voltage source, whereas my little class-A amp doesn't.Perhaps I have not heard them at their best, but I want for nothing more.
I'm just finishing up my IXs and want to run bi-wired. How did you do yours?
I've installed Speakon 4-ways and am about to split the crossovers.
Thanks!
They sure do.Do they make right-angle Speakons? 'Cause otherwise I wouldn't want to use such a large connector for a wall-proximity speaker.
I went the other way. On-boarded the XO internally and single wired my E-IXs. I can't tell if that made any acoustic difference, but the box count was halved.I'm just finishing up my IXs and want to run bi-wired. How did you do yours?
