By-pass or Remove X-over in Revel Studios 1st Gen


Have a pair of Revel Ultima Studios. I want to bi-amp these speakers.
Already have a Rane AC23S crossover.

I need to know how to defeat/remove the Studio crossover.
These are first generation Studios. Not the new model.

Also want advise on amp for lows.
Will be using Pass Aleph2 for hi's.
I will be using all XLR connections.
I did hear after I got my crossover
that it could be counter productive
to mess with Revel crossover.
So any advise would be welcome.

EEGADS....all that R&D that Revel did on that speaker and with a blind snip you'll defeat it. If Revel thought biamping would improve this speaker, they would have included the necessary inputs. I would NEVER do this... Return your new electronic crossover, pour yourself a bit of single malt, and put on a soothing recording.
If you want better sound, upgrade the parts in the original crossover. It's better than re-engineering a speaker when you have no idea what you're doing.
Dear Face: Your advise IMHO could means maybe to attain a " different " sound but not necessarily a better one.

As Stringreen point out: " all that R&D that Revel did.... " means between other things that the speakers were voiced with that original crossover parts.

Of course that if we are lucky enough and if we know what we are doing maybe we can/could attain a better performance but not always.

+++++ " If Revel thought biamping would improve this speaker, they would have included the necessary inputs. " +++++

this can't be more true. In the past I ask to a two different speaker designers ( Jim Thiel and Neil Pattel ) how to bi-amp their speakers and if there will be an improvement doing this. Both designers ( by separate ) give me the same answer: what Stringreen posted.

Regards and enjoy the music,

To all who have or may post answers, thank you for your help. I will not mess with crossover's Revel Studios.
I do however wonder why the put Hi/Low inputs on the speaker in the first palce. I would like to ask Mr. Vokes that question.

I would still like to upgrade. So I will ask once more of you some advice. Is my current setup of Pass Aleph P and Aleph2 mono blocks a good match for my first generation Studios?

The remainder of the system is Rega P5 with Benz L2 cart. Jolida JD9 tube phono stage with Underwood level 2 mod.
Rega Jupiter CD player.

Should I go for room treatments, better TT, Better CD??
Or maybe just a nice rack. What upgrade would make sound difference?

Again thank you all very much!
