I for one will never use a SS amplifier (or preamplifier). It is all
tube for me except for the dac. There are just inherent problems with
SS that cannot be solved.
Tubes designs are a completely different story. I have described some of
the inherent problems with SS in another string called "Solid State vs
Vacuum Amps", in this Tube subforum.
I finished up my phono stage (except somewhat haywire look) and I do find
some LPs superior but costly, to high rez ss dacs).
Cheers

Thanks for the reply Bruce.
I’m also doing a diy approach to the amplifiers. I have a few LM3886 chips with accompanying PCBs. I’ll build up 3 pairs of amps as I wait to find all the speaker components I need. I’ll think about the crossover situation in the meantime. Many years ago I heard about ‘Room Equalization Wizard’, a free software that I’m confident is still available although I don’t know if it’s still free. I guess I’ll have to look into that although I don’t own a pc, mic or any other measurement tools.
It’s going to be a long hard road with no guarantee of success.
It’s funny nobody else has put these drivers together in a system in the past. I think these would make a great 3-way, or am I mistake?
I have one more possible (unconventional) trick up my sleeve but I’ll think about that one for a while before I include it in my posts…
