Hi, I hope that you can help, I have four B&W LF00507 CT8 LR bass units (-6dB at 23Hz and 40kHz 93dB spl (2.83V, 1m) (mf/hf) 8Ω (minimum 4Ω) and would like to build some really nice speakers for a HiFi stereo sound that can also be the optional L&R of a simple 5 way theatre system. The power amp is a Carver Sunfire TGA 5400, it gives 400 Watts per channel into 8Ω or 800 Watts per channel into 4 Ω. I still have the B&W CT8XO 2 active crossovers that are needed for each of the whole units, but nothing else is left from those two original CT8LR speaker cases (please don't ask what happened, horrible). I am looking for some compatible quality mid range and tweeters to give a real presence and detail, and to do justice to the quality of the amp and bass units without spending £10k on parts. I will build the enclosures to respect the necessary dimensions and insulation for closed unit boxes.
In hopeful addition, would you recommend internal cross overs after the terminal tray, or external multi channel active cross overs? I don't need it to be the level of the rest of the CT8's, it is a separate system, just want a capable and accurate reproduction. Thanks for your time. Really look forward to any constructive answers. Cabling is very high quality, so maybe some advice on the choice of terminal tray too.
