A5 and JBL2242H

[KBergsson]

Hi I have Altec A5s with 1505b horn (299 comp.driver). I use either Altec 515-8g (great resolution but not much under c.a. 55- 60hz) or GPA 515c ( better bass but still not much under c.a. 50hz and generally a slightly darker sound). I would like to reinforce the bottom end somewhat. I aquired a pair of JBL 2242Hs in great shape and was thinking of running the A5s with no lowpass filter on the 515s (i.e. the A5s with normal crossovers without filtering out the bottom end, let the 515 in the A5s fall off naturally - hope you understand) and try to blend in the 2242s ( in ca 8cuft reflex boxes) via digital active xower and some digital eq ( initially using minidisp). Has anybody tried similar, and do you think this is a worthwhile experiment. I have read so many accounts of the difficulty blending in a sub with the A5s. Im not looking for extremely deep bass but a more solid representation down to c.a 35hz.
