Does anyone know of any reasonably priced active crossover that is of high quality? BTW, what's the difference between Butterworth and Linkwitz-Riley types? Is one better? The only one I've seen that seems pretty good is the Sledgehammer model from MADISOUND Speaker Components. It has adjustible frequency, 24-db Linkwitz-Riley filters and supposedly uses polypropylene and 1% metal film resistors in critical areas. They even mention using high-slewing op-amps! Unfortunately price is around $500. I would think $3-400 would be more reasonable for most non-rich-person budgets. Carleton Wu
