PS: Please don't just pick crappy crossover settings and try to fix everything with global EQ.

So many recommendations on this subject. Crossovers, room correction, sub integration, and all others play into the equation. For a relatively cheap way to experiment try something like an Outlaw ICBM. Not in production anymore (originally $250 MSRP) but can be found in the used market. To get really specific and get something you can order to your specific needs try this place, A bit more money but very good quality..... https://www.marchandelec.com/ |
As the OP i asking for recommendations , I feel free to make one without being accused of generating “spam.” I have had excellent luck with a vacuum tube electronic crossover custom built for my system by Marchand Electronics. I biamped my Magnepans, completely eliminating the factory crossovers. Results have very satisfying. |
If you mean an active crossover, no I cannot recommend one. I have not heard a single one that sounded good. A couple I tried to upgrade with boutique components; I could improve them, but never to a satisfactionary level They are good enough for pro audio, but they are not good enough for hifi. I’m sure a genuine hifi quality unit could be manufactured, but that wouldn’t be cheap. |
mitch4t I just about listened to them all tube SS (analog) even a Deqx (digital domain, sterile is the word that come to mind). The very best I found was the newer discrete SS Nelson Pass "First Watt B4" active analog xover only a few were made, they were $1500 but do come up used though. (some idiots ask a fortune though tell’m where to go) https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649699130-first-watt-b4-active-crossover/ https://www.firstwatt.com/pdf/prod_b4_man.pdf Cheers George |
