It was recently suggested to me that rather than doing a crossover upgrade
I look into an active crossover for my Tannoy FSMs. Anyone experienced enough
to guide me? What advantages does active provide?
Even if you get the crossover points and slopes correct, there are other considerations to take into account, that active crossovers are unable to account for.
Baffle step, compensating for dips and peaks in individual driver responses, compensating for impedance, etc, etc, are a few issues.
Watch this vid by speaker design wiz, Danny Ritchie. He explains the problems.
