Krell KBX crossover.

I was doing some reading on the Krell KBX crossover and was really interested in finding one for my speakers which are B&W Matrix 800s. I am running a Krell FPB 600 with Krell B&W baf ( bass alignment filters, balanced). ARC Ref 6. Are the Krell KBX only used when bi or tri amping? Also what sonic advantages would the KBX bring to my speakers. Thanks in advance.

Be careful when buying electronic crossovers.  Many speakers require some sort of wave shaping circuitry in their crossovers.  Some specific electronic crossovers are designed specifically for a certain speaker and include the wave shaping circuitry.

If you are going to buy an electronic crossover, contact the speaker manufacturer and ask them if that crossover will work correctly with your speaker.

This looks to be the goods for a good 24db active 2 or 3 way, for $499!!!
Only gripe I have about it, I would have much preferred to have dip switches to set the xover frequencies than predetermined set frequency card insertions.
