The Bottlehead team has a great array of products. I'm always excited about what is on the way. Today I was searching for a active crossover kit. I was surprised that Marchand was the only one I could find and they are moving away from kits. The bottlehead crowd are DIYers from preamps to speakers but for me the diy falls apart at the crossovers. It is easier to experiment with electronic crossovers. Why not have a crossover kit or are most doing single drivers with no xover? I could be talking crazy or perhaps there isn't enough of a demand. It would be the first time :) What do you think?
Hey where is that battery phono pre?

Ian,
Transcendent Sound is also working on an active kit.
They used to make me grumpy too, now I simply don't use them except maybe a simple first-order cap on a supertweeter, or the built-in one on a sub amp, but I always leave the single, widerange driver runn undisturbed over it's entire range and work from there. Far less integration issues this way, and BTW, I haven't used a supertweeter in years.
FWIW,
Jim
Does a supertweeter where a cape?
I'll keep an eye on the transcendent sound. Thanks

It is most certainl easier to experiment with passive crossovers unless you use a digital active crossover, and that is not likely a future product. Passives can be build in minutes with clip leads.
The slopes/freq points aren't hard to adjust, but implementing different notch filters in an active XO is a nightmare.
Hopefully a hybrid approach can be done with active slopes only...
I've had a hard time with anything but first order. Active doesn't steal as much energy. No matter how much you think you know about crosssovers something else always rears its ugly head. Experts at crossovers also turn out not to be so that is also a problem. I like the simplicity of 1st order but like the steeper 4th order slopes. Active doesn't require an order from parts express to experiment. Perhaps I should just find a Marchand and go from there.
Crossovers make me grumpy am I the only one?

I get grumpy about them too. Lucky for you, you could change some parts in your Bottlehead amps and end up with your first order two way crossover. The low pass would involve adding a tiny bit more to the circuit, but you could do it. In the high pass section, you would only need to change the coupling cap, and optimize the parafeed cap to keep any 60hz out. If you are interested, let me know.
Yeah I do get grumpy when it comes to crossovers : ) I may inquire about this later. Didn't know you could do it this way. Very interesting.

It is being developed by PJ, I think.
Foreplay based, IIRC. But lots of products are being developed, so it's taking some time.
Triamp... Take a load off!
That is great news! It turns out my late night beer ideas aren't too far off. :)
