At AVS forum DIY speakers, several people have made statements that they no longer use passive crossover networks. Instead they use active (electronic) crossovers.
First, can someone give me a short course for dummies in Active Crossovers?
Are they really replacing passive crossovers in many applications?
Active brings to my mind something like graphic equalizers. As I remember, they were faulted for inducing unwanted distortion. Maybe times have changed.
