Re: Samson or Behringer crossover?

Posted by tmcconnell on July 30, 2004 at 14:24:39:
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.
