Hey all!
I wanted to pick the minds of those with home theater experience regarding some of the gear I own and see how well you feel they'll integrate together.
I have the following that can be set up:
1 Behringer Xenyx502
1 Behringer DCX2496
2 M-Audio BX8a
2 M-Audio BX5a
My current set up (mostly for basic audio listening that I do) is, just running into the Xynyx, then 1/4" out into my BX8's. I picked up the two BX5s' at a garage sale one day for a nice steal, and considering they're the younger sibling to the 8's, I figured why not?
I'm wanting to see if I can rather seamlessly step into the home theater world using the gear I already own. It seems that most people use passive speakers, but I'm finding it difficult to find anyone else who is using active speakers like myself for their setup. I plugged it all in earlier into the DCX, and the only problem I appeared to be having was with the crossovers. Granted, I didn't play around with it a whole lot, because I'm restricted for time at the moment.
So, knowing that my speakers work in this environment, is the DCX still a component worth keeping in the chain, and does anyone have any background using active speakers with the built in cross overs? I imagine I would just tell the DCX to work in the operating range of their specs, but I'm unsure. Eventually I will purchase a sub and if I'm still using the DCX, use that to tell the sub to take over what the BX's have trouble pushing out.
Thanks for any info and insight I can receive from you guys!
