My question is about bi or triamping.


Why are so many of the active crossovers I'm finding set up with 1/4 inch plugs for PA or sound reinforcement? I want to build a triamped system around dynaco tube amps for mids and highs and Adcom for bottom. Any reasonable priced active crossovers available that are flexible enough to work with quality drivers I install in self built cabinets? I loved the last system I had that was biamped using home made speakers and want to go triamped with this system.

Active multi-amping is quite common for pro sound reinforcement but is a bit of an oddity when it comes to home audio. As such, manufacturers build products for the market that buys them the most.

Having said that, Phil Marchand markets kits that will allow you to build the crossover of your dreams using the parts of your choice. You can substitute your own wiring, connectors, etc... using his boards or buy one of his designs in ready made form. There are also several other companies that make "audiophile grade" active crossoves, but i don't know of any that offer all of the various makes / models / versatility that Marchand has to offer. Having said that, i'd love to learn of other options in this market as my brother will be looking for a new crossover pretty soon. Sean
