Hi guys,As I've posted before my main system consists of a SET amp, tube CD, and a pair of Lowther horns.
Anyway recently I've become interested in dipol/baffle/active crossover/multi amped stuff. Obviously these items vary in application but it gives an idea of what I've been looking into.
As a second, play around with, system I've considered putting together a bi-amped, dipole system. The only catch is that I'd need to do it on the cheap! I've a 2nd CD player for a source, and could power the top part of a two way set up with an old Carver reciever I have. Inexpensive plate amps are plentiful as are active crossovers.
One of the crossovers I've found is dirt cheap at $60 plus shipping. It's a Nady unit. I did as search of this forum and found next to nothing concerning this unit.
It looks to be a 4 way crossover but I wonder if it could be used for different applications? They also produce a two way crossover for $10 extra bucks.(?)
Anyone know of these? Could it be a reasonable component in a second, experimental system?
I'd appreciate any and all input.
Rick
