So I am working on my project (The Riahs) and I am considering an active xover, not that i would permanently use it on the speakers--but to experiment and figure out what sound I like, before I purchase passive parts.
I was wondering a couple things--first, what am I "giving up" by using the CX3400--I am sure some amount of flexibility--I just don't know specifics, and what I won't be able to accomplish. Will the 3400 get me "enough" to decide what to use for a passive setup, or should I just spend the money on the 2496.
Secondly--I realize I need seperate amplification for all the speakers if I go this route. Well i was just thinking the other day that I replace my Pioneer Elite 45TX with an Onkyo 705. I was wondering if I make a few cables--could I just use L, SL, BL, R, SR, and BR pre-ins on my Pioneer? It would give me post-eq delay and volume adjustment (at least I think I can adjust delay and gain still on multichannel mode). Thoughts on this approach?
Thanks
