I love experimenting with loudspeakers. The big bugaboo is always the crossover expense and having the required devices on hand to experiment. I want to try some type of electronic crossover. I have a number of amplifiers available.
Currently I have a MiniDSP. Very complicated to program and the unit I have sometimes causes distortion that is not tolerable.
Dayton 408DSP which looks like a much easier to use device ($220 with USB dongle).....or just go analog with a Behringer CX-3400 crossover (On sale right now for $126 shipped from Sweetwater)
Is anyone using either of these units? Comments?
Thanks

I used to use a 3400 (well a pair I have 4-ways) and when the dcx2496 came out I switched to it. My vote would be for the dayton if as easy as the dcx. The dcx can be simple to use, or quite complicated. Features I find useful include the programmable channel delay (time alignment) a multitude of crossover slopes, additional filters available, and most useful, save/restore. The save restore makes it a snap to compare say a LR to a butterworth slope. So i'd look for those sorts of features in the Dayton.
