Best Active Crossovers?

Hello,

Thank you for your responses!

Peter, Digimoda seems Interesting. I never had Class D amplification in my system, only Class A amplification, so I wonder if it could be better. I usually read that Class A sounds better than Class D.

Marty, Regarding DEQX, it seems interesting. In principle I don't like very much the idea of inserting a AD and DA into the signal path, being happy with my Playback Designs + Krell Phanton path, but certainly I can only know for sure if I eventually try it.

Ngjockey, Regarding Holm, it seems quite interesting, but again I wonder if it would sound better than Playback Designs + Krell Phanton +Active analog crossover. I guess I would need to try to know for sure.

I guess these are all very interesting and radical alternatives. I wonder if I will be able to compare them against the simpler option of just upgrading the crossover components of my SC-VIs crossovers, something that I am already doing or inserting an audiophile quality active analog crossover.

Would anyone know about an analog competitor to the KBX crossover? A better, and possibly more modern, audiophile level active analog crossover?

Thank you!

Why even bother with going to outboard active crossovers? Just upgrade the existing passive crossover. Going active, particularly analog, will greatly increase the complexity of your system. I'm not sure the increased complexity will be worth the sonic advantages, if any.

The trade-off for increased complexity is having a dedicated amp on the woofers, which can be a good thing. It depends -- there are too many variables to contemplate. You have to hear it to know.
