The best crossovers are digital and their best use is for subwoofer management. The problem for some analog people is that this requires putting everything in the digital domain which some of them are adamantly against. Other than subwoofers the best crossover is no cross over. Bi and tri amping is fun if you are building your own speakers and digital crossovers can make a speaker hero out of a numb skull. Good speakers are carefully tuned by the manufacturer and messing around with them generally makes them worse.
Why HiFi manufacturers don't make active crossovers anymore?
Hello to all,
On the recent days, I noticed that a lot of manufacturers of Hifi 2 channel systems, had plenty of options in a not so long past, of active crossovers, like Luxman, Accuphase, higher end Sony stuff, and many more, why do you think HiFi manufacturers abandoned the inclusion of active cross overs, channel dividers, in their lineup?
Accuphase still makes a digital one.
Appears that this devices are only still relevant in the Pro Audio world, why Home HifI abandoned the active cross over route? It's correct to assume that?
I think that can be very interesting tri-amp a three way loudspeakers with active cross overs, would like to know more about it too...
Share your thoughts about the subject, experiences in bi-amp and tri-amp with active crossovers and etc....
Thanks!
