Maggie 20.1 and Marchand XM-44

I am thinking about moving to an active crossover for my Maggie 20.1's. The Marchand XM-44 seems to be a good fit but I'm not sure what frequencies to order. Is there anyone here that has experience with this particular pairing and what freq's and settings did you find that worked the best with these speaks. My inexperience with external crossovers has me totally in the dark here.

I've never heard the Pass Xover, but I have heard an excellent 3 way Marchand on the 20.1's (sub attached to the active and crossed over at 34 hrz) with Pass amps on the bottom and ARC tubes on the top, and that was one of the best sounding systems I have ever heard.

Of course I need to say that the analog set up was top notch as well so.......

So Markus, the Cary 120s is enough to drive the top end without distortion or clipping at high volumes?

If it is, I think I'm about to buy that amp, that crossover, and hook it up to my 3.6r's!

Glad to hear it sound good.

3.6 Crossovers are not the same. Much smaller, and I assume more limited than the 20.1.
