[QUOTE="David Morison, post: 212159, member: 2076"] 1&2: That crossover is used to adjust just how high the subwoofer can play, so it's not useless; but it's only half of a proper crossover which would also include a high-passed output for your monitors. The other option you could explore is to find monitors that have a variable high pass adjustment on them to allow them to start playing at the same frequency as the subs stop. 3: yes, audio out from the PC into whichever of the interface's inputs is most suitable. 4:, sorry, can't recommend any specific product - I only suggested looking for something with a proper crossover in case there was something out there you might find for yourself. Re the RCF - don't get too hung up on power - it's almost meaningless when comparing loudspeakers. Look at the maximum SPL instead - that's what your ears hear, not watts. The RCF claims 113dB whereas the Wharfedale claims 118, so the latter should be louder flat out, however either may be loud enough for you - have a look here: [URL]http://www.siue.edu/~gengel/ece476WebStuff/SPL.pdf[/URL].
