  If you go to an active crossover, i'd obviously use the Audio X-stream crossover, which incorporates a tuneable notch filter for the B-Gs. I forgot about it. Better would be only a tube crossover IMO.

  I think that the passive notch filter ahead of the speaker is probably a severe limit on sonic quality - i prefer to implement such filters with a parallel 'sink' circuit, not a blocking 'tank' circuit - if i have to.

  It is probable that a text-book crossover will work quite well from the start on the B-Gs, because they have a rel. well behaved fundamental resonance at ca. 130 Hz, so the used crossover is about two octaves away, and the bass will be at least 2 octaves away from its upper limit. The used XO frequency sits nicely (and sensibly IMO) between both drivers lower resp. upper limit. A bit of tuning will probably still be necessary.

  What preamp and amp do you want to use?

    Hi Arbelos, here's the link to my earlier post with the details about my system:

    Where can I find about the Audio X-treme?

    Thanks.

        Audio-X-Stream is no longer. I tried for almost a year to buy a Clearview for my CALS Platinums. I have since given up and I'm building my own.
