Active Kudos Titans w/Devialets?

[JonathanG]

I was at the aforementioned Munich event 5 years ago when they explained and demonstrated the active use of Devialet with Vivid Gaias. The video here is the one I took, just to show, not for a sound demo, of course.

They explained that they worked for MONTHS with Laurence Dickie, the designer engineer of Vivid, to get the crossover right. Although I have a two-way speaker (YG Acoustics Carmel) and two Devialets, after hearing that story, I would never dream of even trying to set them up actively. I do have a measuring mic and intermediate knowledge of using REW but designing an active crossover is an art. Not to mention, that setting the Devialets is always back and forth to an SD card, so it's way too much time, considering, you'll have to set volume, delay, etc. It took me a day just to get the sub integration right.
It is a shame that Devialet didn't make the effort to work with somewhat more affordable speakers (then the Vivid Gaia) and provide set values we could use.

Hi Zdenes,

Thanks for replying on this. It's good to hear what they said way back then and as you say, a shame they didn't follow through with more on this.

Cheers.
