active x-overs
I've been reading some threads on active x-overs and wanted to get some opinions on the CR-1 vs the Bryston 10b vs the Pass XVR1. I have a c500p running into 2301s (powering PMC IB2 speakers) and 2x JL f112 subs. I bought the ib2 speakers for the mids not the bass and figured since they are a hungry speaker my 2301 amps might benefit from a little more "headroom". I like the low profile of the Bryston but overall sound trumps other factors for me. Thoughts?

If all you are doing is crossing a sub into your mains, any of the ones you listed will be fine. The XVR1 will be overkill for this and be much more complex to set up than either the Bryston or the JL.
If you are doing an active multi-way (3,4,5 or more-way) crossover system, the XVR1 is the way to go because you can keep adding control modules. |

Thanks for your note Dan. I should have figured you had covered this! I will definitely review. What s great forum.

Update: I have a CR-1 inbound. I'm excited but have a question:
I currently "toe in" my ib2 speakers. Should I toe in my f112s as well or does it make more sense to ou the subs close to the back wall and adjust the phase? (The f112 manual shows the subs not toed in). Thx for your input. |

Location in the room is what counts with a sub. Toe in isn't necessary for a sub. |
Thanks Everyone! I have the CR-1 in place and am just waiting for the necessary cables-- will be sure to provide any resulting insights!
