Yeah, I'm quite pleased with the crossover but I've heard some amazing things about Bruce's 300B OTL amps that I want to try them. But they only push 1W and while the bass response is supposed to be impressive, I think I'll need a little more slam. Hence the 15W push/pull OTL for the bottom and the 300Bs for the mids and highs. 1W into those 806As should be sublime, especially since I'm bypassing a passive crossover which does drain some power.

I think it will be fun not only playing with the crossover point, but also the slope, volume attenuation for each driver and if I'm not mistaken I can also vary the delay with the DCX2496. That should give me a very high level of control. I will also be able to add another amp to drive some tweeters if I desire, but that's way down the road. I have to hear what these OTL are all about first, especially the 300Bs. The 15W P/P OTL will be in my hands early next week. It will be the perfect Thanksgiving "while watching football" project.

I'll keep you posted....

Oh, and a bonus...the DCX2496 fits in my Ikea Lack rack! I thought is might be too wide. It's like it was made for it.
