Some input on an idea...

Have the cd transport feed a DSP, which uses fourier transforms to split
the audio about some crossover frequency, this is then sent a four channel
DAC and a four channel amplifier (possibly bi-amped stereo) and out to the
high/low speaker drivers.

The point is more manipulation of the signal is applied to the robust
digital stage, rather than delicate analogue. This could also offer much
steeper crossovers (100dB if desired). Not sure how this would effect real
world audio, but would seem to offer better reproduction.

Hey, with all those meters of 'normal' wire out of the speakers, maybe
we'll *really* start to let the magic stuff shine!

For a price many people can afford:
