  I use these and they are very reasonable on Ebay. Very quiet and decent features. All analog with mutes on each channel summed subwoofer out phase reversal ect.

  Thanks for the input. It looks like I can borrow the Behringer for a trial run which should give me an idea if going 'active' will indeed be advantageous.

  I went through the exercise of comparing the consumer (guitar center) crossovers on hi fi with several other types, and I thought, without question, that the (Behringer, Cheap Ashley) (I didn;t try the sampson - but its the same class of gear I suspect) seriously smeared and distorted the high end compared to the types that used a chip to change the xover frequency. The BSS stuff is very good. I ended up using an Audio Control Richter Scale for my control room. It was only like a few hundred dollars and as transparant as anything else I tested. I hear good things about the Marchland stuff too.

  My advice: If you are going for hi fidelity don't get sucked in to the "bar band" gear - basically, anything with a continuously variable crossover point is likely to sound bad. There's a lot of stuff on ebay with "fixed" crossover points that might be worth taking a risk on - JBL etc.

  I'd stay clear of the Samson. As for Behringer I have an 8024 that has never caused my any problems. As for analog vs digital, I'd only go analog if I couldn't afford digital, and the way things are going that situation won't last long. Analog is not going to be around much longer.
