Yes the Marchand looks to be a great xover. I think the assembled Xm9 is like $499, but maybe alot more than i really need, its a 2 way, i'm just looking for the sub amp feature. Just got a note from the Madisound post , guy says his Hypex does color the sound of his satilite speakers, but works well as just a sub amp. So he uses the bypass feature. But if i knew the XM9 did deliver the cleaner sub sound, i'd prefer spending the extra now and not having to upgrade later to the XM9.
Hypex HS200 amp vs Marchand for use as sub amp...
About to get some Thor speakers but will need a sub. My Jadis intergrated has an OUT, so could i use a Marchand XM9 receiving the OUT and the XM9 powering the sub?. I'm building my own sub with a Excel W26, plan to use the sub from 20-100hz. Or do you recommend the Hypex HS200 sub amp. Never used a sub, not sure about the hookup. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
