Sorry Phil- what I meant was how would one go about doing this in 2 channel only. I wasn;t meaning to suggest that you should change your system- I was just trying to work out whether there was a way of doing all this server side -ie without having to buy the behringer or some other digtial crossover. I spose what i had in mind was a scheme which might enable someone to buy *relatively* inexpensive power amps and x-overless speakers and let the PC do most of the work doing DRC and x-over correction with decent but not uber pricey dacs.
