Amp/xover for Hartley 24 subwoofer


Hi Guys. I'm running a wall-mounted Hartley 24" woofer as a subwoofer to my Maggie 20.1's. It is powered at present by a Manley 170 watt mono tube amp, crossed over at 18db/octave at 50Hz by a Dahlquist DQ-10 crossover. My Maggies are rolled off at 6db/octave at 100Hz by a simple capacitor. I'm thinking I can do better with a solid state amp and a parametric equalizer/crossover at 24db/octave (keeping the 6db/octave for the high pass). Any ideas?

I used in the past a Richter scale in conjunction with 3 ten's per side driven by a Krell Ksa150. I ran the mains full range and used the Richter scale to eq and blend the bottom end into the natural roll off of my now retired Dunlavy SC4's...Tom
