Go Active Crossover or Upgrade existing XOs?

Listen fellas, its not just a river in Egypt, okay?

Still waiting to hear, if its so great, why all the world’s greatest cost no object systems aren’t doing it?

I mean, its not like there’s some vast audiophile industrial complex conspiracy to... Oh wait, what’s this?

There has been a long running conspiracy to prevent blah blah yada yada

That’s the technical version. While technically correct, there must be something else going on, or all the world’s best cost no object million dollar systems would be doing this, and all the statement speakers would be designed for it. Which, wait, what’s this? None are? NONE?!?!?!

Right. And if its none of the cost no object stuff then it can’t be they aren’t doing it because it costs too much. At a certain level the more it costs the greater the bragging rights for being able to make and sell and own. And for damn sure active costs more to implement than passive. So it can only be that active crossovers in spite of the wonderful sounding technical explanation are actually worse than passive.

Reason number 812 on the list of why not to trust technical specs and reasons.
