Pass XVR-1 Crossover

I’m thinking of using a crossover to bi-amp a pair of Magnepan 20.1 speakers. Anyone have any experience with the Pass XVR-1? Or does anyone have any recommendations of a good crossover? I looking to go tubes (mids/highs) and solidstate (bass)

Thanks...

Feb 06 issue of TAS has done a review with MG 20.1 and Pass AVRI. Please look it up, if you cannot find it I will be more than happy to mail you a photo copy.
My dealer quoted 4000.00 for the Pass AVRI.
If anyone has one for sale I am very interested.

Hi Muslover,

To choose XVR-1 with MG 20.1 is great idea. Among superior sound of active system you may even remove pre amp from the system and further significantly improve the sound. Findings showed that interconnects after XVR-1 are important and must be of low capacitance to get full scale sound. It is also good to have in mind that XVR-1 may be used with any other speakers which passive crossover is possible to by-pass, this is just for case you will change MG 20.1 one day.
