Here is an example of an internal crossover being turned external, check out the pic with the coffee cup and caps. You'll see what I mean when I say enormous caps. http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue70/duelund.htm Best, Erik |
Here is a photo of Naim SBL x-over, original (L) and with upgraded parts (R): http://square-2.com/wp-content/uploads/xover_Naim_Audio42.jpg now, the same original (R) with more serious upgrade (L): http://square-2.com/wp-content/uploads/xover_Naim_Audio42_2.jpg and my final choice, an external x-over for both SBLs: http://square-2.com/wp-content/uploads/crossover3.jpg http://square-2.com/wp-content/uploads/crossover3b.jpg Built for me by Steven Foote of Audio-42 Nothing can beat electronic crossover: NAXO2-4 with Hi-Cap but for now this is what I am listening to. Naxo/HiCap kept in safe storage. |
Active vs. passive is not as easy as saying one is better. There's always trade offs. Passive crossovers have no power supply noise to add, and no new op amps or transistors to put in series with your high end gear. DSP solutions require more DAC channels. So, I personally feel I can beat a lot of active crossovers with a passive. Not always though. :) Erik |
Easy - just the two outputs - high and low As in my earlier post - more complicated , how to work a three input high middle and low on my audiovectors? Wires everywhere, I don't have the energy to attack it yet. Has anyone any pictures of a 3 input set up? Showing wires into the crossover and coming out into the speaker? |
