DSP vs. active analog crossover vs. passive analog crossover. What is your take?


What is you take on the sound quality?  Any personal experience and knowledge on the subject will be greatly appreciated.

 4 way with Crossovers at 90hz, 500hz 7000hz, what speaker are you referring to? 

Tannoy VQ60 118db with VS218 subwoofers - each side 400lb. The speakers can be used with 3 or 4 stereo amplifiers.

I’m using low watt tube amplifiers and VT pre for the speakers, lampizator tube DAC/DSD, Esoteric transport, Garrard 301 with the original heavy mass steel tubing tonearm with Ortofon SPU G/T cartridge among others, Nagra T and Stelavox Reel to reel.

I would use what they recommend, lake LM 26 DSP  or comparable, and set them up according to Tannoy spec. Otherwise you can fry drivers. What are you using them in a warehouse?

At my vacation home and liking the way they sound using first order passive analog crossover.
