    I am waiting on some updated revisions to the crossover from Echo before I start assembling anything. I have $2k of parts sitting here and a second Parasound A21 en route to try biamping.
    Forgot you purchased the PCB kit and parts. Carry on!!

    Rob,

    Why don’t you explain how much better the DX1 is compared to the Ashly XR-1001.

    The DX-1 is not commonly available. I've only ever seen them bundled with XPL200's when they have been for sale, though I wasn't ever actively searching for them.
    I tried to find a Bryston 10B but none of them are available right now.
    Considered a Marchand XM44 but have read that Audio Science Review bit on them which makes me reluctant.
    At least I will have the Ashley XR-1001 in hand so I can start experimenting.

    I do have a line on a JBL 5234A with 4343 cards from a great source I've bought other hi-fi items from previously. He's going to test it and see if it checks out first.

    Even though ASR is all about the numbers, I would take their reviews just like everyone else's with a grain of salt.

    Personally I always like to try be fore I buy. If that isn't an option, then I factor in the added cost of what I will lose if I need to "fire sale" the unit after trying it out.

    Not much to tell.

    Various Analog & Digital Sources > Parasound P7 Analog Preamp > Parasound A21 Amp > JBL 4343 or 250TI

    Soon to Bi-amp 4343 with Active Crossover and a second A21 Amp, building External Crossovers with Echo PCB's for the 4343's

    Marchand

    I use a Marchand electronic crossover for my biamped 4345s and couldn't be happier. I have used two other before including the Ashley and the Marchand is much better with my system.

    That’s a nice set up.
