Active external crossover


Does anyone know of a good active external crossover?

I know Krell used to make a good one 30 years ago.

I’d like to bi- amp, but have no good active external crossover any more.

I wouldn't go digital for doing xovers, I tried the Mini DSP 2x4 hd and the Deqx both which had sad sounding dac's (but they are great fiddling/time wasting tools), not worth in any way taking out what my MSB Discrete R2R sounds like when doing the D to A by it self. 
The best active xover is still analogue, 24db for doing  xover'ing and yes the Pass F5 was a nice one but not 24db I think just 12 or 18?, there are a few others like the Marchand SS ones,(I don't go much for the tube ones). You can get cheap Behringers but they need mods to make them good.

I built my own 2 or 3 way 24db like this and used very good opamps and power supplies.
