Outboard crossover? Why not?


What do you think?  Any disadvantages?
I am aware of only one brand that used to use it - Michael Green Audio free resonance two way reference speakers.

@tatyan69    If you don't have a separate box from the speaker,  the speaker has internal crossovers... You would know if your amp had an electronic crossover to adjust frequency... Jump away,  you will be fine....
The seller included an external crossover box (with instructions - good grief!) so  I suppose all the indications are that I do not have internals. It seems I will have to put these as rears unless I invest in a superior multichanel amp, which makes the whole thing so heavy going + all the extra speaker cables. They seem to however be very pleasant indeed speakers from listening to the ones with internal crossovers, It just makes listening so much more complicated having to sit down and read a manual first. I though those days were over! I am taking them all one at a time (odd shaped luggage at 23kg) to my home in Ukraine so I will have time to read up there, as there is not much to do in Ukraine!


I thought Ukraine was a lot of fun, certainly looks like that from across the ocean. A number of interesting cross-overs over there.
Early Meadowlark Audio models had the crossover located outside the speaker proper. You can remove a little panel under the speaker and get to the xover if you want to mod it. 
Here is an example of an internal crossover being turned external, check out the pic with the coffee cup and caps. You'll see what I mean when I say enormous caps.
