I am getting ready to upgrade my electronics (the 4 Pi speakers and modified Pi 3 flanking subs I built and documented here were the first step). To that end, I am suplementing my Onkyo TX-SR805 THX Ultra2 7.1 A/V Receiver by adding an Odyssey Audio Khartago Extreme amp (2009 TAS Amplifier of the Year) and Tempest preamp (w/ HT bypass so I can still use my receiver for movies).
By going two channel I lose my bass management from the receiver. So after much consternation I have decided to install a Behringer active stereo 2/3 way crossover (CX2310).
This device should allow me to run my 3 subs (flanking subs on the two low outputs - variable crossover points starting at 40 Hz, Linkwitz-Riley filters with 24 dB/octave) and my third sub from the dedicated mono subwoofer output.
I believe when I switch in the HT receiver I will have to set it to no subwoofer and large main. Although Behringer doesn't have the best reputation, I "think" since only the subs will run through the device I should be okay.
Thoughts, comments or better solutions (as long as they don't cost a lot, the Beringer is about $80 and my wife is starting to get miffed by upgraditis) encouraged.
Thanks for reading!
