Anyone using a Marchand crossover???

I use a XM44-3 for about 9 months now, very pleased with it and Phil has been extremely helpful and great to do business with.

I am currently using a XM9 Deluxe 2 way, and am very pleased with it. Like the others have mentioned, it isn't a cost no object model, but it offers many features and quiet performance for the dollar. I have found it to be PC sensitive in stock form. I have also talked with a fellow on AA about them, and he has upgraded his XM9 with an external power supply. I haven't tried it, but it makes sense to me after he explained it to me, and I will try it, as soon as cash and time allow. The point is, these crossovers are very flexable and have the potential to be upgraded with ease. Phil is also a pleasure to do business with, and he can advise you on many upgrades as well. Check them out at, http://www.marchandelec.com/ I highly recommend one!

I have owned the XM9 and now own the XM44-3. These are high quality products, nicely built with no problems. Phil Marchand answers the phone when you call for info so it's a real 'hands-on' business. Buy with confidence.

I use an xm9-2 Deluxe with Martin Logan and Genesis sub. It can be upgraded to a balanced output. I am considering it. Otherwise I have no complaints. I dpn't know if the Bryston is better. One person that I conversed with on line says that the marchand tube unit is the best out there.

Afriend of mine in the LA area swears by Marchand's for his JBL obsession.

I'm using a Marchand XM9-3 Deluxe and have no complaints about it. Like anything else, it is built to a price point and can be upgraded as one feels the need. It does have some nice features ( such as the "blend" circuit ) that other crossovers lack, making it slightly more versatile and easier to get things dialed in with. Sean

Rick: The active crossover in my JL-1s which splits the bass and treble signals is a Marchand product. About to be upgraded and tweaked by that "someone" you refer to. :^) Uses high quality parts, although not a cost-no-object design (although I believe Marchand has more esoteric products available than the boards in my crossovers). Marchand is a well-known name in the active crossover area.
