I have a pair of Gauder Akustik speakers (ex Isophon), which I'm very happy with. This thread is not about the speakers but the crossovers.
Speakers are equipped with Passive Symmetrical Crossovers with >50dB slope. This type of crossovers is the hallmark of Gauder Akustik.
My questions to you all knowledgeable WBF'ers are as follows (Google has not been my friend in finding this out):
- What are the rationales behind symmetrical crossovers, if any?
- Are there specific demands on the power amplifier driving speakers with symmetrical crossovers with this slope or will they relieve the amp in any way?
- Advantages / Disadvantages (apart from being expensive) with symmetrical crossovers?
/Best
