Hello peoples… Right to it. Cocktail Audio X40 -> SoundTech X234 Crossover - M-1200s -> Magnepan MG-III and to Jamo D6Sub. The X234 does the trick, perhaps not an audiophile piece, but I would like to find an active crossover that has a bypass function so I can enjoy the Mags full range OR utilize …

I’ll strongly second what @paul172 said. Save your pennies and buy the right crossover once @pikpen . [P1010339]

Designing and building one right now. Fully balanced, two way LR 24dB/oct, straight line phase… Starting print design next week… Can’t wait to hook it up… [afbeelding]

You should take a look at Marchand Electronics. Back in the day when I had Magnepan 3.6s I had their fully balanced XM126 2 way tube crossover. Fully assembled or in kit form, If you do not see what you need just ask. Edit: Just visited the site, I do not see kit pricing listed!

I did buy their stuff 5 years ago but it ended up in the trash can. Now I am doing it myself. Just for fun. Retired you know… :slight_smile:

I spy one in your seductive array there… so to be fully clear does the ‘Crossover Function Bypass’ indeed allow full range to the satellite amp if the bass inputs are not used? The manual reads as such but I’d appreciate a hands on confirmation… Thanks, Jeff
