using the clx with two descent i subs
dear forum
i am presently running my clx directly from my amplifier . i am feeding a signal to my amp from my preamp . i am also simultaneously feeding a signal from my preamp to my two descent i subwoofers ( one left and one right ) . i don't even know if my descent i subwoofers are equipped with the proprietary clx crossover . the whole system is brand new . and it sounds fine wired just as it is . but how do i find the special clx / descent i crossover ( if it is in the descent i at all ) and is there a real sonic advantage to using the proprietary crossover to begin with . some people say the less crossovers in the signal chain the better but obviously the martin logan designers would not have manufactured the special clx / descent i crossover if they did not think it added some sonic benefit . is it better to route the signal from my preamp to the descent i subs then out to the power amp then into the clx ? has anyone experimented with both methods and formed an opinion that they would care to share ? thank you .
