Magnepan 3.6R biamp crossover


What's the deal with the crossover to Biamp? Do I have to get it from my dealer? Don't even know the local dealer!! Does anyone do this with an active crossover, and if so, which one??

thanks.

Dear Macdad: I don't know which kind of improvement you are looking for.

If you are looking for a better quality music reproduction, I think that with a second DD-12 running in true stereo way with your Maggies you could have a great system.

Please take a look at this link: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1117893153&openflup&27&4#27

Regards and enjoy the music.

Another option is to find a used Magnepan XO1 crossover. That will allow you to biamp with amps that are not gain matched, and also bipass the caps/inductors for the LF. They go for about $100, though they're pretty rare.

I have one sitting around doing nothing, if I could remember where I saw it last....
Hello Rooze,
I have a pair of XO-1's that came with my 3.5R's. Now I want to Bi-Amp.
I saw your post. I'm not sure how to go here ... do I just follow the diagram on the Xo-1 box, because I've seen a post that show's an alternate way to use these crossovers. Also I have an active John Curl crossover that I could use also.
My two AR amps are 76 & 100 wpc. So what do you think...?
I used to live off SPAM when I lived in Hawaii. still love it...
Tell me does this email go to your normal email or stays in AUDIGON world.
