This is categorically untrue. I owned a pair of Magnaplanar Tympani 1Ds that utilized a passive line level XO that I purchased in 1979 and ran for 15 years. I did not realize at the time what a stroke of genius this was. I successfully biamped with a number of different amps to great effect. It is only that speaker companies CHOOSE NOT TO sell speakers utilizing this method of bi-amping. A PLLXO solve many problems of implementation that active XOs present. The only downside is insertion loss. Speaker companies choose not to market this way, not trusting their customers to implement correctly, with good reason. Unless you know what you're doing its easy to screw up. -- konut ------------------------------------------------------------------------ konut's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1596 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86483 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
