I know it seems rather counter-intuitive that a system like this would have less variables than a conventional system, but it's true. Many folks have a hard time wrapping their heads around this concept....so you're not alone.

I think part of the problem is that some folks who have auditioned systems like this were listening to implementations that used active crossovers with generic filter slopes. Those are...generally...not suitable since acoustic responses of the drivers rarely can be optimum unless driven with tailored slopes from dedicated crossovers.

A line-level crossover implementation with power amplifiers driving panels/xducers directly is a 'simpler' system than a typical conventional setup. Ponder that for a bit.

Cheers,

Dave.
