I realized that my jbl-speakers I use additionally to my alesis are a littl=

e=20

light on the lower end. So I (mis-)used ambdec's crossover to give me one=20

matrix with the 100Hz and above for the whole setup and one matrix for belo=

w=20

100Hz that just contains and feeds the main alesis speakers. Works pretty w=

ell=20

as far as I am concerned...

Of course, each speakers signal is also feed through jconvolver with a drc-=

ir=20

to make it sound superb (as opposed to just the plain good sound of the=20

speakers).
I think that full-range in the sense of ambisonics just means (a) that its=

=20

more then the little rear--satellites you find in 5.1/7.1 and (b) that ever=

y=20

speaker is supposed to get (and reproduce) the whole spectrum according to =

its=20

abilities.
Have fun,
Arnold
