Hi,
I have some audioengine A5's and have recently bought a Mordaunt Short 309w to give them some more low end grunt.
I have all the line inputs going to the A5's then the sub is connected by the pass through rca's. This means the A5's and the sub both receive a full range signal, no problem for the sub as I can set the crossover to cut the high frequencies, but the A5's are still trying to amplify the <50hz which they cannot reproduce in any volume.
Am I right in thinking that the <50hz is causing distortion and stopping the A5's from being as effective as they could be?
In other words, would it be best to have a separate crossover to send set signals to the A5's and sub separately?
Or does none of this matter?
Thanks in advance
