Octal Crossover

[Ian Baren]

Has anyone seen or built a crossover (pref. 3-way) using Octal tubes
like the 6SN7? Would like to build one, and would appreciate any
input, experience or schematics.


Thanks

If the original crossover is an advanced one with compensation networks
matched to the speakers etc. then I agree with you. If the original
crossover is a simple high pass/low pass type, then using an active
crossover with the same crossover frequencies should be no problem.

Hi !
Tube Cad Journal sells very nice software here

So you could design your own crossower using virtually any tube
Here is interesting article from TCJ :
