JohnA Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I favor Dbx gear. Simple enough, reliable. Unlike Berringer. A 223 comes with XLRs and does what you initially wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 223 comes with XLRs and does what you initially wanted. After comparing a couple DBX Crossovers to Ashly in the past, I gave a notable knod in SQ to the Ashly. That was many years ago. Working well in the rig now until I decide to spring for that K231 unit (or perhaps something else). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I placed an order but cancelled after hearing of the 3 week wait. I'm using my ashly xr1001 for now with good results. I will likely buy the K231 once the wait period is gone and I move a few items. Just for the record, I was announced a two weeks backlog but it took a week for my crossover to be shipped. I do know however that Mark from Sublime Acoustic is getting more and more orders so... in any case, you should definitely give it a try - and (this is important) give it some time to break in, and have some juice flowing through it while while doing so (I turn the power amps off and push the preamp output close to max ). Some electronics are more sensitive to break-in than others; the K231 went from « huh ho » to « wow » (at the beginning the treble was so sharp I was thinking of sending it back but I’m glad I didn’t).

I used to have a TDM unit, they have a great reputation and I liked mine but the K231 is in a different league, transparent, open, and incredibly dynamic - and super silent. There’s no way back for me. It feels like I’m promoting too much a product - disclaimer: l’m not affiliated in any way with Sublime Acoustic, but when something is that good, you want others to experience it as well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate your honest and sincere input. The unit attracted me for a reason. It appears that how it presents on paper that made it attractive and what it sounds like are matching nicely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 Well, I am glad I ended up waiting on the Sublime Audio unit. I ended up getting a deal on another xilica unit. I'm gonna give it a proper go and hopefully @Chris A will be willing to help me out getting it dialed in properly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, since I couldn't buy your amp I bought a new XP-8080 for th 904's. I guess I had to buy something! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coytee Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I have two EV DX-38's that I am open to selling (now that they've been replaced with a Xilica) I was asking $250/each... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 Yes, I can definitely say xilica (or something similar) is the way to go now. Should have stopped being stubborn about going digital some time ago. Working with Chris A now to tune my system and the results are sounding quite promising. Wanted to give a big thanks to @Chris A for taking the time to help me out with prompt responses. Really appreciate that. Hell of a forum is all I have to say.
