What are the common subs that have high pass filter?
It's a good question. Hopefully someone else can answer it! (I haven't looked at the market for subs for a very long time.)
What are the common subs that have high pass filter?
As far as I understand, the power output of the tube amps does not change in the same manner as SS amps. I think it is rated for 20 wpc at both 4 and 8 ohm. The rest of the physics is beyond me.I'm going to assume that this unit was rated 4 ohms, since manufacturers like to write higher watts on their boxes to get people to buy the higher watts units.
So to estimate your amp's performance, it would be 20wpc@4ohm, and approx 10wpc@8ohm.
In other words, the Loxjie A30 would be a decent upgrade to your amp, for not much $.
The SVS doesn’t need a high pass filter as it’s designed correctly, a high pass filter is to keep your sub from bottoming out, at your listening levels it’s a moot point.
She mentioned RCA out from DAC to sub the out from Sub to (tube) amplifier. The SVS will handle all crossovers via phone app.I’m not sure if this was in reference to my previous post, but just in case it was, I should clarify: I wasn’t suggesting @sophie smith should look for a sub with a high-pass filter for the sub, but rather that she should look for a sub that has a high-pass filter for the speakers.
Not sure how feasible that is in the price range though as I’ve been out of the game for some time (certainly wasn’t the norm last time I checked FWIW).

That should do the trick then..She mentioned RCA out from DAC to sub the out from Sub to (tube) amplifier. The SVS will handle all crossovers via phone app.

Thanks.FYI, have just read through the SB2000 Pro manual, and the speaker out from the sub is just a pass-through, i.e. it won’t high-pass filter the signal going to your speakers. I would consider this suboptimal personally. Not sure how you feel about it, but just thought it should be clarified..
Thanks.
I guess I am going to keep looking for one with high pass.

Yup. Emotiva SE12 is one such option ($400 in the US).There probably are cheaper options,
Are there any disadvantages of using HPF? There are some threads on this forum arguing about amp seeing higher peak voltages with the HPF placed before the amp.
I will also look at the external xover. Had not thought about this before.
