They are many passive x-over designers and users of these designs here and some of them have also used digital x-over eg. DCX2496 as well.
The designer can design filter to shape the curve to fit the speaker curve in a very flexible way.,eg. asymmetrical, 1st order, 2nd, LR, Butterworth, etc. The digital x-over is less flexible but still it can be configure in variety of ways, eg.,asymmetrical, etc.to fit ones needs.
The digital x-over allows users to forces the audio chain to be in the digital domain throughout until it reaches the analogue amplifier(if you are using one).
I don't have that much experience with designing and experimenting with passive x-over, but I have started to use a digital x-over. I like the latter. The latter saves me money by not having cupboard full of expensive capacitors and inductors that I won't be using and I find hard to sell after using them.
my query is that those who has experience with using both methods please explain your experience eg which one do you like, etc. I am sure many here would find it useful, I for one would like to listen to those who have used passive components extensively.
cheers.
