Interesting Shin, Dereks (overkill Audios') modded deq's may I believe been 'worked on' by some one else possibly?  Trichord????

Do you not feel that digital x/overs whilst producing exceptional imaging and staging, detract from the musical expression, intimacy, tonality and realistic flow of the music whilst giving that mechanical contrived sound ie manipulated feeling (genuine question, not a dig?)

Having heard those xovers with the ovations? (and the passives versions, which to me were far more engauging and real to me)

Tonality and timbre seems to elude these types of sets ups for me. Are are you not also planning to use the new class 'd' designs  soon?. personally I find the hypex stuff, powerful and in control, but lacking that soul and passion in the performance? although I feel the 180 is by far the best musically, though the 400 being the best trade off 700 just full of bluster and wow, nothing more imo your thoughts here Shin.

Rob very kind invite sir, I would like to take you up on your kind  offer. I may even bring a glowing bottle box along with me Rob.
