Just forget about it, get a Rane or something if you won't mind chips or otherwise a discrete buffer with slopes and get your active system going.
Later on when B4 is finally available and you feel like it, give it a try
In sort, move on, it's common place not keeping up with the schedule in DIY, other things happening etc.

Agreed on this one! Better yet, I highly recommend looking into DIY the JFET B1 crossover on this thread below. You can try a LR2 for 12db/oct or LR4 for 24db/oct version. I almost finished mine with P-P soldering. I had a switch to switch b/w 12db and 24db and multiple different Xover frequencies.

B1 Active Crossover
I'm fine, if a little poorer than before. It was taking so long for the Lxmini crossover to appear that I bought a pair of (used) Danley SH50s.
I still have an interest in the crossover, but, I confess, mainly to bolster the appeal of the Linkwitz speaker system to any prospective buyer. So I only refresh the store page about 10 times a day.
The links above are now "forbidden" and searching doesn't lead anywhere. Can anybody point me to the right place, or an alternative?
I think you are almost certainly correct; the weak link I believe, that you can't circumnavigate, is the SRC.
I believe the filter does not even exist so it does not draw any current at all.
Thanks Nelson. I ask because I'm planning on replacing the wall wart with a linear PS.

Hello,
I hope this question does not appear rude because it is not meant to be. These days, digital crossover implementations are marketed to be able to handle driver linearization, time alignment, EQ, phase, and I don't know what else.
With such a list of apparent benefits, what is the appeal of an active crossover like the B4 or XVR-1 over a digital crossover? Do people like the sound of the active crossovers better? Do people not want to digitize an analog signal?
Thanks for any feedback you may offer.

A huge one: no AD/DA conversion. We can use our highend DACs, which need to be only 2 channel, with huge savings and simplicity there.
That's not a B4, but can easily be stuffed for two-way at 6 or 12 dB/oct.
There is an article due on that very shortly, which will be posted at
FIRST WATT
A more flexible piece is expected for the store, but these days I have to
do one thing at a time or nothing gets done....
