Notes: DEVICE CLASS FLAG: no exact "Crossover" category exists in the required device_class list; mapped to "Install Processor" as closest fit for a DSP-based loudspeaker signal processor - judgment call, flag for review. No standalone bryston.com product page was found (only referenced within the active-loudspeakers overview page) - flagged; URL points to that overview page. Price found as $3495 in most dealer sources, though one press summary cited $4000 - flagged as a minor discrepancy.
