[QUOTE="Hennie, post: 43722, member: 20"] As stated by Rodney_gold, active crossover based systems never really took the audiophile world by storm. Too little to fidddle with and too many cables eliminated? I always had a love for active systems. Most speakers I built were active, at the time inspired by Siegfried Linkwitz's efforts. I even converted my Yamaha NS1000's to active before I sold them. In my experience active systems are cleaner sounding with better dynamics, especially at higher SPLs'. The reasons are not quite so clear cut. Hypex will be releasing an 'audiophile grade' DSP crossover / pre-amplifier module without amplifiers). I don't know if you have noticed, but a unit with on-board UCD amplifiers have been available for some time. Do they use the same technology you intend using? I take it that you have decided to use IIR type filters and not FIR? [/QUOTE]
