DSP vs. active analog crossover vs. passive analog crossover. What is your take?


What is you take on the sound quality?  Any personal experience and knowledge on the subject will be greatly appreciated.

As Nelson Pass so eloquently said, "Some think using DSP sours the cow's milk" I tend to be of that opinion. I've spent a bunch of money on a DAC, so to introduce several lower end DACs to manipulate the signal is just, well not even close to being a good topology. Active analog X-overs with jfets. Yeah. But remapping step, phase, and time coherence etc. I believe that is the business of speaker manufacturers and I'll be happy to rely on their brilliance to that end. Even if it happened in the 1990's. Long live John Dunlavy. Peace.
