arge,
As an aside, can you point me to any good links on bi-amping?
I'm unclear on the practicalities on matching speaker sensitivity and
the amplifier gain structure. Can this be compensated digitally or do
you add resistors to the signal path or just select the amps very
carefully?

Amen. Let's encourage a corporate takeover or partnership deal. :-)

Exactly!! phew - I thought I was just being slow or something.
Sonically, which would be better

Yes. An active crossover solves the main issue of passive crossover

Interesting. Is it reasonable for me to summarise your post to say
After tinkering with DIY loudspeakers for 20 years I am now convinced
that active crossover and bi/tri amping is the way to go to get the
most out of your loudspeakers (usually the weak link).
Here are the reasons for active crossover/tri amping:
1) Removing the passive crossover between amp and
Well, I'm actually thinking through about three different solutions.
1) Just buy the DEQX PDC2.6P
Hard to justify the expense but it sounds like a great integrated
solution. Would hook the Squeezebox up via SPDIF. I am concerned that
this would introduce jitter though. I sent email to DEQX enqui
You are right but that's not the project.
You can use the digital out from the SB and send it to the DCX2496
which will divide the frequencies and output six analogue channels
(3xstereo). The DCX is used as a crossover and a DAC. I'm using it
this way.
BTW :
1 the stock DCX is rather ordinary but

You're probably not thinking this, but in case the above sentence
indicates you've been toying with the notion of do
You are absolutely right. You normally need some form of volume control
when using a DCX crossover. Search on the internet, a lot of solution
but not very easy. There is a yahoo forum:

One of the easiest solutions are the attenuators at the analogue
