Digital crossovers
Are crossovers "tone killers" as Zu Audio says?
Are digital crossovers a solution?
Much of our source material is digital already: e.g., CDs, ripped CDs, downloads and internet listening. I wonder if a digital pre-amplifier separating the music by frequency and sending the result via the analogue amplifier direct to the appropriate driver would/could produce awesome results?
(I wonder what the crossover slope would be? Would it be absolutely discrete, with absolutely no overlap between drivers? Or is a small amount of overlap necessary even in the digital world?)
