Hello!

I'm interested in trying a XLS1500 in my home music system.

I need a strong amp for my power hungry vintage Acoustic Research AR9 speakers.

I want to run XLS1500 full range,  just the way I would use any "normal" power amplifier.


I have read about additional high pass/low pass crossover functions that XLS amps have,
but I'm not interested in using them.

How these crossover functions are implemented? Through some DSP?

If the answer is yes, how is it done?
Is conversion of analog music signal to digital and then back to analog, always present in the background?

Can the digital conversion be defeated if I'm not using the crossover functions?


I listen to a lot of vinyl records and I would like to have the analog sound chain unbroken by unnecessary AD DA conversions.

Is this possible with modern pro amps?

Thanks in advance,

Aleksandar
