Crossover for 1.7's

Planar Speaker Asylum

Welcome! Need support, you got it. Or share your ideas and experiences.

All,
Looking for your thoughts on an inexpensive (at least by audiophile standards) crossover to roll off the lows going into the Maggie 1.7's and leave the bass to the SVS 3000 subwoofer.
Considering two options:
1 DBX 223 2way cross over - can pick up a used one for about $200 (Can$).
2 DBX 215S 15 band Stereo EQ - Can pick up used for about $150 (Can $)
I am using a Schitt Freya+ Preamp into a Parasound 21+ powering the Maggies. Thinking I will use the XLR out of the Freya into the DBX to roll off anything lower than about 60hz and use the unbalanced out of the Freya+ into the SVS Sub.
Anyone have any direct experience with this and using similar products? I do not want to spend crazy money but also do not want to pollute the Low-Mid to upper frequencies with cheap gear.
Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.
Rick
