RE: All crossovers

I on the other hand am not aware of any higher quality main monitors which are not phase compensated. This may not be immediately visible but its easy to do electronically.
The problem is that they are all pug-ugly as they are designed to be soffit mounted but can also easily be used free-standing if one can live with the looks.
My own 4way actives are also completely phase compensated and pretty much retain the point-source character of the Tannoy DC they are based on. There is a slight timing error of <3microsec though. Not actually audible.

For high quality active monitors you might want to check out ATC 150, 200 and 300 from their pro series or Quested HM412 and HM415. They might seem expensive but I doubt you could buy the components for less.

Sadly there are no more high-quality analogue active xovers being made today (I have no experience with Marchand products) I am aware of so I will keep modifying my old BSS 360s.

It is actually a lot easier to design active speakers from scratch then passives.
It just costs a lot more to implement…
