Crossovers, why so few options?


It seems like if you're in the market for an external crossover, there just aren't many options, particularly if you don't want a piece that belongs in a rack mount (e.g. Behringer, Rane).

Why is this the case? It seems like external crossovers would be in pretty widespread use, but the selection is much less than in the amp/preamp space. On all of Audiogon, there are only two or three crossovers for sale at the moment...

Bob, I wonder if the NHT preserves the analog signal for the mains. If so, this is interesting. If it adds an additional stage of digital processing before output to mains, I would not be so pleased. Sub out doesn't matter so much (whether there is digital processing).
This is my dilemma. I need a preamp with sub out and adjustable high pass crossover. While some have the sub out, most do not have the crossover, where you can employ a highpass to the mains.

Sucks having to choose between only a handful of preamps that have sub out and adjustable crossover: parasound, rogue, emotiva -- not much else.
