Crossover designs...

I've just begun wrapping my head around crossover designs, reading about Linkwitz-Reilly (sp?) designs with subwoofer external crossovers and first-order crossovers with Royd and Thiel speakers (both of which I own).

Interested in any discussions about pros and cons of various designs, as well as white papers and links to good reads.

Thank you.

There is lots of good info out there on the net. Basically, the higher the order, the more phasing problems you are going to have, the more the crossover will color the music, and the more it will cost you. However, it will give you the best control of each driver...

I usually tell my clients, if you want a high order crossover, either pay someone to design it for you or buy the software to design it...

For about $30 you can have one designed using LEAP software www.madisound.com

or for about $10 using xoverpor at www.pirateacoustics.net...
