an active (3-way) Wavefront W8C system with floor-stacked WSXs augmented by
W8CS’ configured as flown mid-bass sections.
Augmenting WSXs with flown W8CS’ as mid-bass sections eliminates the problem

4.5.1DX1 Output Gain and Limiter settings for Wavefront WSXs
Standardising on one good model of power amplifier and correctly set-up controller
(preferably the Martin Audio DX1) will provide the most dynamic system
