best xover for horns? deqx, jbl pro or ??

hv high end horn system. tried deqx 3 years ago and too hard to use and cd heard the digital. hv not tried latest. had 2 analogue xover built with high end stuff and not sound as good as jbl pro. even small changes in xover pts etc can hear. so discouraged on something with fixed parts. but wonder if there anything better. something flexible on slopes and pts that not sound digital. any help?

He's pretty busy but if you can get him to take the job, Bill Woods of Acoustic Horn Company is your man. He's the former chief design engineer of Yorkville Sound and he's got 30 odd years experience doing just what you need done.

hi Mike -

your system deserves the best Xover you can get, certainly. I'd give the newer DEQX a try, but you should probably get someone to professionally set it up and dial it in. Other than that, I'd consider the Bryston 10B. I use one with my horn setup. Another good option is the Pass XVR-1.

Keep us posted.

Ml89009 and Ed sawyer -

What horns do you use? I'm awaiting delivery of a new midrange horn and a crossover network right now. Presently I have JBL L-200. I intend to disable the stock horn and crossover and add a large horn with a 2 inch coax driver on top of the existing woofer cabinet. This should yield a seamless 45 Hz to 16 Khz with XO points around 450 and 9K.

My first horn set-up. Does it sound like a good plan?
