    On Crossovers

    Opinion is only as valid as its verifiable supporting evidence.

    Thanks! FWIW, FIR filters are the current rage on most forums I browse/post on.

    Glad you like it. Crossover design has been stagnant until somewhat recent ventures into active powered DSP speakers. First studio monitors and now HiFi. I just purchased such a pair of JBL LSR 305 Mk11 smallish monitors for my new Sony(crappy sound) TV. The bang for buck($US300 pair) is amazing. Harmon(JBL) are producing some state of the art speakers at affordable prices.

    Indeed! I've noticed a number of high[er] end DIY HTs are planned to use them.

    Much cheaper and much better than any soundbar that is many times the price.

Not sure about the experience of others, I use an active crossover (EV DX46 with FIR filters) at home on my system and changing filters types and slopes do impact the imaging on my system.
