[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 25242, member: 30"] Re: Crossover design choice - seeking your input! Agreed. In the SH50 there are basically 4 "crossovers" on just the HF driver. And the highest one is around 15KHz. It is impossible to use the same crossover freq for two adjacent bands and get a good phase response. There are also a couple of parts in the HF section that most people who know a little bit about passive crossover design would tell you are "wrong". And they would actually reduce the highs coming out of the driver if used like that. BUt in reality the opposite is true and they actually boost the highs. A good passive crossover is NOT an easy thing to do. But it depends on what you call a "crossover". If all you are interested in is splitting up the freq so that each driver gets its respective freq, then that is pretty easy to do. But if you want the overall result to work as a good cohesive unit (of course that definition will vary from person to person)-now it gets harder. There are "things" we do in both the passive and active versions of Danley products that are "not normal" and may seem weird if all you look at is that one aspect. But it is the COMBINATION of all things that make the final product. Everything affects everything else. [/QUOTE]
