Yes my fault i just thought that phrase is used in other places also. Is it not used in english speaking places?

Don’t think I’ve ever heard this idiom before, but I enjoyed learning about this German idiom! It made sense once you explained it. Soon enough I’ll be speaking less like a Californian dudebro and more like a German master of engineering.Is it not used in english speaking places?

and @Thomas savage had to poop on me. *brrrrr*
I know it. But then brits and Germans are far too similar for either's liking lolDon’t think I’ve ever heard this idiom before, but I enjoyed learning about this German idiom!

Well, one makes terribly unreliable cars. The other has terribly dry humor.I know it. But then brits and Germans are far too similar for either's liking lol

Wait a minute...
On this scale, where does the benefit of active crossovers sit?
Warning - this thread was last posted on in May 2020!
I'm interested in this passive vs active crossover debate but more from the point of view of wondering what speakers to buy when it comes to replacing my current ones. This means I'm not wanting to convert a speaker from passive to active but rather, I'm asking whether I should be looking for an active crossover speaker because they are better.
Firstly, are the limitations of passive crossovers and the complications of implementing active crossovers an argument for looking at speaker types that avoid crossovers altogether - electrostats, single driver types (I realise this could mean I might want to use subs and therefore crossovers with these)?
If convinced that multi drivers are the way to go, is looking for speakers with active crossovers the best solution (providing one is willing to buy the relevant electronic crossover units and amps)?
What, perhaps in measurable terms, are the benefits? I use room treatment and EQ and these provide major benefits - I can truly say 'night and day'. On this scale, where does the benefit of active crossovers sit?
The DCX2496 has a high output (+22dBu) or just under 10v so although it has a decent S/N ratio, that only applies if you have pretty insensitive power amps. With most power amps, there's some 18dB more signal and therefore noise than you need. I put 16dB attenuators on my DCX outputs, which attenuates both the signal and the noise, so preserving the S/N ratio, and noise just isn't a problem.hello there, i'm looking at a DSP/crossover for my JBL XPL200, i used to use the DCX2496, and wanted to get something better, with less hum noise, from your investigations, which are the best options?
XLR input/output would be important
is it just software crossover or hardware crossover as well?Without a doubt, either Audiolense XO or Acourate
