Best Active Crossovers?


What are the best active crossovers?

I have a pair of Dunlavy SC-VI, which are four-way 6db slope crossover.

I understand I would need to use Three Krell KBX in series to get 4-way 6db slope (besides 8 channels of amplification).

Do you know of any high quality 4-way active crossover that can be configured to 6db slope (except for the 3x KBX option)?

Thanks!

About active Xovers, Remember how much trouble finding a transparent preamp for your systema has been? now double that for an active xover, since they usually have more amplifying stages than a preamp.

Use Passive line level xovers between your preamp and amp, 6 db is pretty easy, this will help mostly the amp!
And of course keep the internal xover as designed.

Since you are putting new external xovers, it would be good to identify tha parts in the Xover. The biggest upgrade you can make is to take out the Lpad, resitors at speaker level are very harmful to sound. When Multiamping you can control the volume for each driver from each amp driving it...this will be a lot of fun to play around with and most rewarding!

Dont change resitors, dump them! Change the Solens first!
