So looking for experience or users opinions on going this route?  Any examples out there.  What is the existing crossover points on this speaker anyway.

"The X-LS Encore (like the Classic version) is an 8 ohm load and has 87db sensitivity. The -3db down point is 55Hz. The low 1.8kHz crossover point allows for a great driver integration and consistent phase relationship of the drivers over a wide vertical range. The vertical and horizontal off axis is excellent so the in room response is very smooth and consistent. "

Please don't hook our speakers up to a product like that. Those things sound equivalent to a budget level CD player form the 80's.

Just leave the passive filter in place and use a decent DAC and you'll get MUCH better sound.

I have Digital crossovers with lots of adjustment available in my Lyngdorf TDAI 2170 amp. However choose not to use them

 Trust Danny’s crossovers. There are things he can do with passive parts that there is no real equal for in the digital realm. He has some of the best sounding crossovers I have ever heard. The crossover really is the heart of the speaker.
