Hello, I've plotted the required resistor values for fc = 40kHz, gain = 10, C = 33 pf, and Q values between 1:300. From this you can see that for Q values between 4 and 6 you get 'good' resistor values (R1 ~= 1.5K, R2 ~= 4-6K, R3 ~= 500K). I have an error in the Matlab code I was using to do this plot when I posted my last comment. Graphing R2 is very useful as it shows the effect of the quadratic in the denominator. If you care to see the plots and can zip them up and send them to you. Thanks for the help.
