I was interested in an opinion on the best 2 way crossover available (cost no object) and anysuggestions as to the frequency that is best to cross over at. I have a Linear Power bi-amped system with Dynaudio 240 MK II in front (Frequency Response 25kHz to 55 Hz ) and 2 Dynaudio MW 180 (Frequency Response 1.4 kHz to 35 Hz) in a subwoffer enclosure. I was thinking that 97.5 Hz would be a good crossover point as it is in the center of the overlap of the two speaker setups.
I have tried an Alpine DRE-A200 and was not happy with the sound which uses a 6 db slope on the high pass and a 12 db slope on the low pass.
I did like the Linear Power X03 which uses a 12 db slope on the high pass and a 24 db slope on the low pass, but I had some mechanical problems with that unit.
I was thinking of a Audiocontrol EQX 13 which uses Liknkwitz-Riley 24 db slopes on both high and low pass and has a 13 band dual bandwidth equalizer.
Thanks for any information. It is greatly appreciated.

In my opinion, running those speakers you would probably want to run the Audio Control or similar piece with at least 12db slope on both sides. You will probably want your components to drop off pretty quickly at that low of a frequency w/o a dedicated midbass, and your subs to roll off at quickly at that high of a frequency for better SQ. If my logic is wrong feel free to beat me about the face and shoulders....
