[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 40745, member: 126"] Re: Which analogue crossover is the best? The sound quality of loudspeaker crossover is conflicted by accuracy and appropriateness of the actual filter curves. A perfect audio path that doesn't properly divide the audio signals for your actual speaker, will not sound as good as a lesser audio path, that can be adjusted to better match what your speaker needs to get. I would first research what your speakers need to get (filter order and alignments). Then see what models deliver what you need. Only when you have multiple candidates that meet that criteria is path quality even worth considering, and IMO most modern electronics paths will be better than amplification and transducer linearity. As Ivan mentioned there are other than sound quality issues to consider. If you are on a budget there should be a lot of used analog crossovers out there as they slowly sink into technological obsolescence and prices should keep dropping. JR [/QUOTE]
