Pass Labs B4 crossover questions

If you want to use TOSHIBA or LINEAR SYSTEMS JFETs for this active
crossover, then you will need a lot of them. Sounds expensive to me.
And first you have to know if Nelson Pass is using complementary N- and P-Channel JFETs or only the N-Channel JFETs. I f he uses the same or similar topology as in the LX-MINI- crossover, then you would only need N-Channel - JFETs.
For each bufferstage 1 N-Channel for the signal + 1 N-Channel as constant current source.
Something you will have to know and think about?


And the picture I saw from his pcb shows a lot of buffer stages.

Stereo 6-24 db/oct biamp requires 24 N channel Jfets. The cheapest Jfets are the
J113's, and the most expensive are 2SK170. Even more expensive are
complementary 2SK170 / 2SJ74.

The J113's are pretty well suited to this if you are willing to match them and
provide Source resistors for the current source Fets.
