It's a bummer Roger dropped his analog crossover option. With the 10C any analog signal has to be converted to digital in the crossover then back to analog.
Not sure why this is a problem if the result is vastly superior performance.
I found that replacing the analog crossovers on my MartinLogan Monoliths with an active crossover, and later a full digital speaker processor (DBX DriveRack 4800) to produce dramatic (both subjective and objective measured) improvements.
Even analog active crossovers, while much preferred over analog passive crossovers, are still pretty far behind what a good speaker processor can do. for instance panel to woofer delay is not possible, yet due to the variances in drivers and relative positioning, one typically needs delay to one element or the other to time-align the impulses.
Every time I've heard the 10B demo Sanders Sound Systems does, I'm quite impressed. So even the cheap crossover they use for the demos is up to the task. But I would bet that going to a DriveRack would yield even better results.
... Curious, have you tried any of the lower-end DriveRack units, or did you go straight to the 4800?
On topic, I expect to hear from Rogers since I keep saying I need to drive up and visit but have not. Duh, was even off this week and could have gone up yesterday, rats! I have not heard them in ages and am anxious to do so again.
