Hey guys, I'm looking at options for my PC speaker setup and am wondering if something like this Parts Express crossover would do what I'm wanting...
Currently the system is:
Klipsch Powergate DAC/amp with optical audio coming from the motherboard's built in Realtek chipset
pair of HSU HB-1 MK2 bookshelf 6.5" speakers on stands to have the tweeters at seated ear height
sharing one of the home theater HSU VTF-15H mk2 subs
Anyway, I've discovered that the Powergate does not have any way to set a crossover for its driven speakers and confirmed that indeed they receive the full range signal. I'm going to buy a dedicated subwoofer for them this weekend (looking at an SVS SB-3000) as the Klipsch has a dedicated subwoofer pre-out, but am wanting some way to filter out low frequencies from the pair of bookshelf speakers.
The HSU bookshelves I currently have, as well as the SVS Ultra Bookshelf speakers I'm considering upgrading to are both rated at 8 Ohms.
Would something like this 80 Hz high pass 8 Ohm crossover wired in line between the DAC/amp and speakers do what I'm wanting? https://www.parts-express.com/80-Hz-High-Pass-8-Ohm-Crossover-266-458
that way I could make sure there's no overlap between the bookshelves and the sub, though if this wouldn't work as desired I guess my only other option would be to pick up basically an AVR right?
