Crossover - hard to find for biamping


Interested in biamping a stereo tube amplifier into mid/tweeter drivers, and a solid state Mono block into the bass speakers of a floor speaker.

I probably will need a crossover to adjust levels since i am leaving the internal crossovers inside the main speakers untouched.

Problem is, audio dealers don’t sell crossover Devices and don’t get involved in this area, and there’s very few crossover devices out there.

why is this? It appears not too many people do this sort of thing. Recommendations?

I’m bi-amping with tube monoblocks into the midbass and tweeters using the passive crossovers, then running a solid state amp into the woofers. I’ve split the preamp signal so that one leg feeds an active low pass crossover to the woofer amp. It’s a very inexpensive Pyle PLXR2B for automotive use, but using a suitable 12V wall wart it works remarkably well. It has low pass options of 50, 63, 80, or 100 hz, and a separate gain.  Not much to lose at $30.
