Recommendations for Electronic Crossovers - HELP


Dang, I am biamping my B&W 804 matrix speakers using a 200 watt for the woofer and a 50 watt per channel for the top - I have looked everwhere and cannot seem to find a decent outside crossover that does not cost an arm and leg. Wasted a lot of time looking at stuff meant for a PA system! I am not looking for a kit either. Please help. Thanks!

If I were you I would look at the numbers in your original post. You are putting 50 watts on top and 200 on the bottom. Can you run the speaker with just one amp?

I think what you will find when you install the crossover is that an additional veil has been introduced. I find most electronic crossovers to be detail filters. Although I have felt this way for years, it confirmed in spades a few years ago at RMAF when we attempted to use one of the units from the recommendations above.

In short, one would use a crossover for PA applications, but a good crossover for a high end speaker takes some planning. I would talk to Tom Tutay at 1-850-244-3041 if you are really serious. He is not on the web BTW. He makes the best crossovers out there.
