Bryston makes a good active x/o, but Nelson Pass makes a great one. If it is too rich for your blood, look for his also very fine First Watt B4. MUCH more versatile than the Bryston, and no op-amps or integrated circuits (100 percent discrete circuitry). Completely analogue as well. No longer available assembled (kit only), but very occasionally available used.
Horizontal vs Vertical biamping
Hi all. I am looking for some feedback. I am horizontally biamping 2 Rogue ST 100 amps. I am using DS 2 preamp, Aurender N10, Yggy LIM Dac, Legacy Signature SE speakers. It sounds really good. I have tried vertical biamping with this setup thinking it would sound even better. I have read that it would but in reality it does not sound as good. A bit thin and unresolving I would say. Anyone care to weigh in on why this would be? Thanks in advance.
