What are the advantages of eliminating crossover networks?
Needless to say, the elimination of crossover networks takes away many of the compromises involved in juggling components, drivers and crossover frequencies to try to make the best sound using this older technology. Conventional systems, having a woofer, tweeter and perhaps a mid-range as well, require crossovers, either passive or active. Passive crossovers often involve losses and can cause unwanted changes to the system impedance in order to gain an improvement in response. Having no crossover eliminates the debate about which passive components sound the best. Electronic crossovers require extra amplifiers, adding a significant cost to a system. Either method involves common difficulties. In the area of the crossover frequency, both drivers radiate the same frequencies and may interfere with each other causing uneven response around the system. A different physical location for each driver adds to the problems. More importantly, and perhaps not so obvious, is that a driver used to
