Crossover for bi-amping

Posted by Andre Linoge on March 20, 2001 at 14:03:38

Per Davey's recommendation the other day, I got permission by the person whose B-G 520s I'm using to remove the crossovers from the speakers and employ a crossover between pre-amp and amp (as long as I can restore them if needed when he comes back from overseas-I figured it'd be easy to do). The set-up is as follows:

Pre-Amp has a cut-off at 100 Hz between the subwoofer LFE output and the front mains. The B-Gs are currently crossed over at 500 Hz between the dual mid-bass drivers and the ribbon. I'll use different amps to power the mid-bass and ribbons. Since this system is also used for HT, I want to keep the LFE output for the subwoofer and insert the crossover right off the pre-amp front outputs.

Any suggestions on which crossover to use? I can't afford $1100 for a Bryston so I've been looking at the Marchand but since I've never done this I can sure use your opinions. Also, any words of wisdom on the process are highly appreciated.

Thanks
