I'm sure you could find some suitable Penny&Giles ones but that would be a waste of perfectly good pots. Also they would probably cost as much as your entire xover each!
Personally I use two upgraded BSS FDS360s which use plug-in cards to set the xover frequency.
This is a much more precise way of doing things. The cards just carry the necessary caps and resistors to achieve the desired frequency and slope.
I bought the BSS's s/h (around £100 each or £700new) and then swapped the original 30 year old opamps (TL072) for something almost modern in the form of BurrBrown 2134s. I would like some really good opamps (like the latest offerings from National Semiconductor or Linear Technologies) but there are quite a few in there and I was lacking money.
The LabGruppen xover uses dip switches which is also ok and should be cheaper then Bryston.
When it comes to digital xovers I'd go for XTA, finances allowing.
