    Use the preset you used for the 15G2's. Adjust as needed.

    hi
    thanks for your answer

    thats what i thought i should do , but can you help me how to do the changes inside after i chose the eon 15g2 preset?

    the new eon is a little bit wider in frequenceis it goes down to 36 hz and up to 20khz how can i adjust it while i am playing a cd and try to find the best for me?

    thanks

    Actually, the -10db point is 39hz, but that is useless to you because the speaker cannot reproduce that (that you can hear anyways). The -3db point is more useful information. 42hz, the same as the 15G2. The only gain is the 515XT extends to 18K (from 17k on the 15G2). Very little content above 16K, so again, useless. Whatever settings you had come to for the 15G2's, use those. That is what I meant by using the preset for the 15G2's... same filters and EQ, then tweek to your ears.
    I do not have a PX, so it is hard for me to help you with a button by button explanation.

    no... there is no crossover @ 15khz or 17khz... those are simply where the speaker runs out of capability.

    The PX doesn't have an LPF on the high outs anyway so as Dra said use the presets for the Eon G2's... and be done with it.

    As for the equalizer part there isn't any way for us to know because we don't have the Eons...
