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!

Its false that active and passive are comparable in difficulty of use.

Hey @Kenjit,

Still waiting on you to answer any of my questions about your current system, what commercial speakers you like, and what you don't like.

You were pretty demanding when I offered to discuss my own system, and failed to return the courtesy. It would help all of us understand where you are coming from.


Thanks,

Erik
And you can continue to obsess about that and never listen to music, or choice to build your own speakers, or buy speakers that get you close enough to what you want and enjoy listening to music
I should also point out that horns are one area where active crossovers seem to be used much more frequently and with less fussing.


@erik_squires 

why do you need to know what my system is? I think ive already answered anyway. I have heard multiple speakers and failed to be satisfied.
