Thank you Ngjockey and Lissnr for your response. At the moment I am using the passive Apogee crossovers with some older SE interconnects (Ixox and Cardas Golden Cross). It sounds supprisingly well, but in a lot of music the bass (Pass) is very dominant. I wish I could turn down the bass a bit. That is one of the reasons why I am looking for an active crossover. I have ordered some Neutrik XLR/RCA adapters. As soon as they arrive I will try them out with my XLR ic's (Siltech Compass Lake/Pure Note DE). I also have the active Apogee crossover. It's SE and I don't know how and if it controlls the bass in a proper way. The first thing I am gonna do is try them out with the Neutriks. I don't know if there is any quality loss by using adapters. Buying a Pass XRV seems to be the solution, but I like to know more about crossovers/the alternatives before I spend a firm amount of money on a gear which is only standing in my rack. I've found out that the XO frequencie is 400 and slope is 6Db. I'll keep you informed about my searching.
Which balanced crossover fits with Apogee FR's?
Hello Audiogon Folks,
I have just changed Apogee Diva for Apogee Full Range in my system.
The Apogee crossover is single ended. I play my whole system balanced.
I use Pass 600.5, Audio Research HD 220 and Audio Research Ref 3. I am technical a nono. I like as less interference in the signal as possible and don't like changing values everytime. I know the Pass and the HD 220 deliver different resistance (ohm). I like to use the Pass for the bass section and the HD 220 for mid and high range. Which analog crossover will fit in my system without disminishing sound quality? I was thinking about a Pass XRV, but it's price is a bit above my budget ($ 2500). On eBay there is an Accuphase F35. I need to specify the frequencies, but which?
