I would definately go with an active crossove. No matter what parts you upgrade your passive one with, it won't likely match an active one. I would look for the Marchand, Behringer, DBX DriveRack?, or others. Start with two amps (1 on mid/tweeter, 1 for the bass) If you feel adventerous, you can eventually tri-amp.

Dear Macdad: I don't know which kind of improvement you are looking for. If you are looking for a better quality music reproduction, I think that with a second DD-12 running in true stereo way with your Maggies you could have a great system. Please take a look at this link: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1117893153&openflup&27&4#27 Regards and enjoy the music. Raul. |
Another option is to find a used Magnepan XO1 crossover. That will allow you to biamp with amps that are not gain matched, and also bipass the caps/inductors for the LF. They go for about $100, though they're pretty rare. I have one sitting around doing nothing, if I could remember where I saw it last.... |
Hello Rooze, I have a pair of XO-1's that came with my 3.5R's. Now I want to Bi-Amp. I saw your post. I'm not sure how to go here ... do I just follow the diagram on the Xo-1 box, because I've seen a post that show's an alternate way to use these crossovers. Also I have an active John Curl crossover that I could use also. My two AR amps are 76 & 100 wpc. So what do you think...? I used to live off SPAM when I lived in Hawaii. still love it... Tell me does this email go to your normal email or stays in AUDIGON world. Regards Ron Glaze [email protected] |
