My (now 7 years old) Linn front speakers (+ amps+XO's) were circa £6.5k all-in. You can spend MUCH MUCH more than this!
Yes you can use a DCX2496 instead of 2 DEQ's... (BTW my opinion of Behringer gear is that it is cheap and OK when it works... but I've had a fair bit of it that just died...) The Linn XO's are relatively cheap because all the normal expensive bits (case, PSU) are not required, they are provided by the host amplifier(s). They are however, high-quality... and in an active system there is nowhere to hide when it comes to "the weakest link in the chain" :-) -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
