Best Active Crossovers?

What are the best active crossovers?

I have a pair of Dunlavy SC-VI, which are four-way 6db slope crossover.

I understand I would need to use Three Krell KBX in series to get 4-way 6db slope (besides 8 channels of amplification).

Do you know of any high quality 4-way active crossover that can be configured to 6db slope (except for the 3x KBX option)?

Thanks!

Can't think of any 6dB active analog xovers. Like the Digmoda idea but still wary about class D for tweeters. As far as a separate crossover, other digital options are Xilica (might be the best of the 'pro' stuff and stand-alone option for 8 out), Ground Sound, miniDSP and, of course, Behringer (no comment). Full-blown preamp/RTA/correction and up to 3-way are DEQX and Holm Acoustics (interesting tutorial on website). No law that it has to be entirely active, other than trying to duplicate or improve upon the existing passive PCB - particularly the mid/tweeter xover. Then, there's software/computer based xovers and RTA's. Thuneau Allocator is just one of many but really haven't done much homework here.

Hypex amps/modules might be interesting for this project as well. Not like the SC4 isn't big enough.
