karl: tannoy churchills have outbord xovers, as did my previously-owned avalon ascents (current sentinels also have outboard units, as i recall). there are two primary advantages that i'm aware of with such a setup. first, it reduces vibrations from the active units/box. second, it reduces the weight of the speakers, making them easier to setup and move. -kelly
Any advantage to an outboard crossover box?
I have been considering the North Creek Rhythm Unlimited and Signature speaker projects. Cabinets to be built by Lee Taylor and Co. There are a couple differences between the two options but I'm interested in the advantage of having the crossovers outside the speaker cabinets (like in the Signature). Do any other speakers do this? Any comments of the above speakers also welcome.
