Hi Mac,

I haven't tried the Behringer nor the DEQX, but I have used the Thuneau Allocator / Arbitrator extensively back in the day. When I first was using the Allocator, I modelled the crossover of one of the pair of speakers I had built (Ellis Audio 1801B), as well as use it as the crossover to the subs I had built. Then I used it to try to develop better crossovers than the stock crossovers in the 1801B.

During my use of the program, I discovered a bug in the Arbitrator that caused audible distortion under certain crossover configurations. I'm not sure if that bug was ever fixed. Another issue I ran into once was a power failure while listening to the system. The Lynx 2B sends a spike through to the system upon power down, and my amps at the time stored energy and slowly dissipated when power was cut. There went my tweeters.

I have listened to the Orion's, but with the active crossover, not a digital crossover. I thought they sounded great with the active crossover.

I was going to build a pair of Orion's at one point, but the costs were prohibitive at the time. Of course, once I could afford to build them and buy a decent amp to drive them, I didn't have the time to put into the project :( I still think I might build them at some point, but now I am quite happy with my current speakers so I have little motivation beyond the fun of experimenting.

Two question: Did you find that one of the three crossover products you listed above outperformed the others? Have you had the opportunity to compare Orion's active crossover to a crossover implemented digitally?

Thanks,
Alan
