    It should work fine.

    I have adjustment pots on my active crossover to balance LF/HF output to match amplifier gain and driver sensitivity, the Yam Mid and Twt are 93dB/1w/1m.
    Note: I normally use 2 identical Class D stereo amps 700w/4ohm for the woofers and 400w/8ohm for Mid/Twt combination, which retains a passive crossover.
    The two amps have identical gain, but the bass driver is less sensitive than Mid/Twt, so I have to turn down the Mid/Twt output at the active cross over, so it matches bass output at the drivers.

    Excellent!
    I just hope we have time to fit everything in. Mark has his work cut out, sorting out some kind of running order.

    At the NEBO meets we tend to run through the more complete systems that folks have gone to the trouble of bringing first, leaving the box swapping and system lash ups to the end. The lash ups are the most interesting part for me, with some unlikely combinations having great synergy.

    It's Mark's party though, so I will go with what ever he chooses to do, just glad to participate.

    Got the speakers completed this afternoon, ready for the meet, just putting a few hours on them as I changed a couple of parts in the active crossovers.

    I'm looking forward to hearing this speaker build too.
    I've been slow on Speaker Demo's for quite some time.
    The cabinetry looks very professional, and the use of the Dark Vignette of colour on the fascia is stylish, it guides the eye onto the Drivers, giving them Pride of Place

    Thanks Oli/John

    I thought the silver drivers needed something dark to set them off, but didn't want to go with Black. This look was inspired by a pair of NS-2000 in Walnut, which I thought looked really nice. Adding the Veneer, with R10 edges and then this finish, took twice as long as making the cabinets, but I feel it was worth it. I wanted to get away from sharp edges.

    John, could you clear your inbox please?
    “Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”
