Very good. Please report back and tell us your experience with the Rolls crossover. I am always looking at options for flanking subs, so I'd like to grab one and check it out.

As for distribution, obviously balanced pairs are best, but the devices we're talking here are unbalanced. And you're right that unbalanced lines are more susceptible to noise, so length can be a potential problem. Of course, you can always keep the amplifier close to the preamp and crossover, and run the high-level balanced speaker output lines the distance. Then all you have to worry about is the resistance of the speaker cable, and that's rarely a problem in a home.

Another option is wireless connections. I wouldn't use an inexpensive wireless connection for mains, but I've used wireless distribution for surrounds and subs and been happy with it.
