In-line xover question

Who makes an "audiophile-grade", or at least a competent, in-line xover? I'd like to experiment with one to understand if I can achieve better integration of a pair of subwoofers.

Thank you in advance.

Whether or not it will help get a better blend with your subwoofers, I can't predict from here. Are you already using some sort of high-pass filter on your main speakers? Are your main speakers sealed or vented (makes a difference in how rapid their inherent rolloff is)? How steep is the low-pass filter on your subwoofer? What ballpark crossover frequency are you using? Thanks. Duke dealer/manufacturer
