Please Suggest An Electronic Crossover

Speakers:  Infinity Kappa 9

Preamp:   Audio Research Reference 3

I’m looking to find an external crossover to add to my system.  Preferably a pre-owned unit…will consider new unit.

Would like to limit to $1k…but will go to 2k for the right unit.

I would be looking a MiniDSP with Dirac live and running an amplifier on each channel.Passive XOs would take a lot more skill, and probably…. Unless you are really good… the outcome would likely be better with the EQ of the MiniDSP.

If you’re going to do it, then I would suggest going to a FIR based DSP so you have the capability to also equalises phase.

That is where a significant amounts of the magic happens in passive speaker crossovers (opt not).

Or one can believe that spreaders which are not phase and time correct, are somehow still able to be referred to as having “high” fidelity. Built it is not true.
