3-way OB

The B200 is a demanding loudspeaker. Either you can stand it's raising frequency output or you have to take it down. Most people I think are in the last category, you have to take it down.
The best way to do this would be in the digtal domain, so I would not recommend B200 for a passive design.😎

However for an active design it would be a terrific speaker.
But you should have the ample EQs around.

can you elaborate on this. I thought a PLL filter was adequate to tame the B200.

BTW the Supravox 215 Sig. does not have this rising response but is twice as expensive.

I have own experience with the digital active solution and with the by me proposed LR-circuit in the gigantic 'Darkstar' thread in the AudioCircle.

Once you have heard the active setup you realize that the passive filter takes away a bit of naturalness and openness.

I have not heard Planet10's Phase Plugs which I think will be a good investment. Regarding the PLL-circuit I have simulated its effect in a Spice-simulation which looks like this chart. It is about half as effective to take down mid and treble response as the passive LR-circuit

then why not an active L-R circuit or atleast a passive line stage L-R ckt.
