Crossovers, why so few options?


It seems like if you're in the market for an external crossover, there just aren't many options, particularly if you don't want a piece that belongs in a rack mount (e.g. Behringer, Rane).

Why is this the case? It seems like external crossovers would be in pretty widespread use, but the selection is much less than in the amp/preamp space. On all of Audiogon, there are only two or three crossovers for sale at the moment...

You bring up a good question, why not more use of active crossovers? It solves so many issues and makes for truly superior performance. For anyone who is *truly* serious, active is the only choice, yet for some unknown reason most audiophiles are either unaware or just want plug & play convenience.

As far as selection, there's not enough demand, but what you need is out there. Several ready made ones, as you've mentioned, and also custom made are available.
