Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE:"I think he meant a resistor."

Theoretically the simplest crossover consists of one inductor in series with the woofer and one capacitor in series with the tweeter.

This is known as a 1st order or 6dB xover.
In practice many 1st order xovers are vastly more complex with L-pads for level matching and Zobels to even out impedances.

Never seen a Thiel crossover, I prefer active ones.
To my ears inductors do horrible things to the sound, worse than even a cheap op-amp.
