Well this has been the most frustrating IT experience of my life! After initial very rapid progress I have hit problem, after problem, after problem just trying to get 6 channels of 24bit audio out of HDMI without random channel switching! I thought I was embarking on a journey to learn about x-over design, but so far I have been mostly battling with different HDMI drivers, HDMI driver bugs, ALSA, PULSEAUDIO, PIPEWIRE, Various OS variants, REW compatability, JAVA compatability... And the gruelling battle isn't over - I still have not escaped the random HDMI channel switching! But... I have had some great help from many, especially Pavel over at avnirvana and...
...WaHey!!! I finally have a (just) stable enough REW system to get initial measurements of the original Passive Linn Kaber drivers. These will serve as a baseline for the real task ahead.
I came here to share the frequency plots with you... but the technology has confounded me again! How do I upload an image here?
