    .... Another option a little bit cheaper but IMHO more effective than the CR-1 is the miniDSP DDRC-88A which come with Dirac Live room correction system and can handle up to 8 channels.

    Dirac Live room correction I want to try myself. I would love to try the the SHD Series Volumio music player/ streamer / Dirac Live Room correction in a 2 channel system and the ARCAM AVR850 or NAD T 758 V3 w/ built in Dirac Live for the HT room.

    Maybe in time....right now this old Anthem MRX300 has made my HT system come alive...even more so than the big bad Onkyo units I had.

    Here is one of the responses...was was looking at doing the same as you with the CR-1 or the Pass crossover

    Ron,

    I would hold on the CR-1 until you try the subwoofers with the onboard controls. The C4s play down to 30Hz but I would crossover around 50Hz to take some stress out of the speakers. In that case you can send full range signal to the speakers and full range signal to the subwoofers and set the low pass filter on the subwoofer at 50Hz/24 and the crossover on the subwoofer at 50Hz as well in order to get 50Hz with 24dB/octave slope. Then set proper delay/phase on the subwoofers. If you like the results, which I know you are gonna love it, you can save $3000 on the CR-1. Another option a little bit cheaper but IMHO more effective than the CR-1 is the miniDSP DDRC-88A which come with Dirac Live room correction system and can handle up to 8 channels. In your case you can have the two C4s + the pair of subwoofers and set delay/phase, levels and EQ for each one independently. The miniDSP DDCR-88A is $1000.

    https://www.minidsp.com/products/dirac-series/ddrc-88a

    I read a good portion of the manual on the DDRC88a.

    I am interested, will look into integrating this in the future.

    Pretty sweet subs! Congrats
    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

    Such a lil' cutey...and the subs are lil' cuties as well given their ability to hit a maximum of 121 dB at 25 Hz @ 1 foot. They are heavy but not overly large in size.

    150 lb each... 300 lbs of sub-goodness.

    Gothams would've been nicer but it was too much of a herculean effort...
