I'll have to pull one to check and see what they are exactly. I received no documentation. I'm currently sending a full range signal to them and I don't hear any obvious distortion. I guess I've always assumed they had a built-in passive crossover network to filter out frequencies the driver can't handle. They definitely don't reproduce low-level signals, though, as there's definitely missing sound without the sub. -Matt _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
