Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

It's possible, but you're throwing a lot away if you do.

The passive crossover is of very high quality, and you can even opt for silver foil caps at a $1K or so premium. The crossover is a first order type designed with all the equalization, etc. built in. An active crossover and bi-amping (or tri-amping even with bass bins) is there as a possibility if you throw out all the passive crossover components yourself, and then you have to engineer a crossover yourself.

Maybe Bert can sell you one without the built-in crossover. I just don't see the advantage myself. Even the high end cap choice is cheaper than adding another high quality amp and passive crossover. One good amp with one voice from 220 Hz - 20 KHz seems right for this speaker, and another SS amp for the bass bins. That's just my opinion, of course.
