Active line level crossover with subwoofer out - HELP

Love the lava lamp in the .../systems/8367. ;)   Must be a system tweak not considered before...🤔

DSP makes the miserable space I've been relegated to employ as a 'listening area' (I'd be hard pressed to call it a 'room') tolerable....so my  bias is obvious, and enough said.

Exactly.  Sure, we all want to be purists, but the reality is that EQ works.

A light hand, focusing on the most terrible problems in the bass, along with fully thought out speaker integration is a good thing.

perkri, you started another uplifting debate with your simple question :-)

Your friend can also e.g try the blusound node2 streamer/dac which has a sub out before the pre amp. Or the Martin Logan/Paradigm P AMP which I recommend because then you also get the ARC room correction system. The P AMP is fine for driving smaller speakers at normal SPLs. Actually I use it for both Tannoy DC10A and ATC 19 for near-field listening (not exactly small).

To the P AMP you may then connect 28 subs for a really decent bass...

Mostly valuable opinions here.  I, too, am investigating an actual active X-over to take everything below out of the signal to my amp and LRS's and send it to at least @ powered subs.  Those subs can be positioned to reduce nodes.  The miniDSP HD has a x-over, HPF & LPF and by plugging in a PC, Mac or phone app, I believe, 25 bands of parametric EQ.  My concern is if the sample rate of this device will nullify the resolution value of my DAC.  The miniDSP HD apparently is 32bit & 192k.  The new $60 dsp from Parts Express doesn't say.
