external crossover recommendations


What would you recommend to pull off the low pass signal and send it to a subwoofer, prior to the preamp?

thanks

Well this is very helpful everyone.

Kal -- you've smoked me out. I can't follow your good advice on a one-box solution (e.g., Anthem Pre/Pro) without compeletly reworking my room, my cabinets, and my equipment.

My goal was to try to get the analog right (either PL-1a or DAC) to a balanced analog pre-amp. But my Wilson Benesch Curve speakers only go down to 35 Hz. I need to do some very careful listening, but I believe they sound better when I do not pass a full range signal to them, but leave 60 Hz and below to the subwoofer (currently a Totem Thunder).

I have XTZ coming to measure the room and figure out how big of an issue my room is. But I was trying to get the analog right first, and then figure out the best approach to RCS, especially since the one-box solution doesn't work for me.

anyway, hope this makes some sense. Regardless all you -- your response are sure helpful. Thanks!

Bob,

Fingers ahead of brain. Was trying to describe the limitation of fixed slope (rather than adjustable slope, like the low pass) high pass and momentarily forgot just where it was fixed. 6db/octave it is.

Bbro -- I missed your response earlier. Thanks for recommending the Bryston. Although pricey, that piece seems to be the one that has the most of what I'm looking for. I need to check it out.
