Default Active Crossover

Anyone know or can recommend a 3-way active (electronic) tube crossover at
least 3rd order? Thank you.
Cordially,
west

No, it would be enormous if you did it active.

You might be able to chain several Krohn-Hite filter modules together
to increase the slope, but it's going to weigh a ton and probably take
up more space than the amp rack.

Why do you want to do this? Active filters and tubes are usually a very
bad combination, even with wideband video pentodes.

One can only assume he heard the " toobs are bettter " nonsence and swallowed
it.

Not a tube type, but I can heartily recommend the Behringer DCX-2496, which
is a crossover that possessess several major slope types in just about any
order you can imagine, in addition to dynamic compressors, limiters and EQs,
all with the advantage of save and restore settings from memory and PCMCIA
card reader.
I added one to the big house system in December and oh, what an improvement
over my Linkwitz-Riley that I built in 1983.
