Thanks for the info.

It sounds as though there are two ways to handle use the MA-1A crossover.

1 Use the high level inputs and use the high pass output to drive the speakers with the 100hz ctossover point. This seems to be the intent with the Superzero's and might be best with any speaker that is very small or sounds better when relieved of low frequency duties. One downside is that sub placement options are more restrictive.

2 Use either low level or high level inputs to drive the sub and connect the speakers directly to the amp to run full range. This gives more freedom in sub placement and might sound better with speakers that are happy down to well under 100 hz.

So far I have not noticed an image problem at 100 hz with the sub to one side between widely spaced speakers or at 35 hz with the speakers pulled in and the sub just outside.
