RE: Interesting...

Cool, its great to know the stock Behringer is still acceptable so I can use that to get started with the 3.3Rs. Satie did mention the input impedance of the Behringer is a little low so the preamp would have to work a bit hard if you were using the line level passive crossover on the mid/tweeter side. But he said a buffer will help if you have an impedance matching issue from preamp to power amp on that side. So there might be some fine tuning to do but at least I'll be able to use the Behringer for everything initially to get started then I can choose the cap and tune that up for the other option of operation.

Many thanks for the link to the mod, - looks good. It might not be cost effective for me to do that with the shipping etc as I am in the UK. And its looks beyond my DIY capabilities! There is a place here Satie told me about that does Behringer mods too, - not sure if its the same thing, but I will look into it.

In the meantime I'd be very interested to hear the results if you tried the half active/half passive line level crossover approach in your setup, - to see if it sounded better than the upgraded Behringer. I understand though if you think its too much hassle to try and you are happy with your system the way it is now!

Cheers,
Colin
