Audio Research EC-22 // Vintage / Active Electronic Solid State Crossover (90148003)

The Audio Research EC-22 is a beautifully straightforward piece of vintage ARC engineering—a no-nonsense electronic crossover built for audiophiles who wanted precision without sacrificing musicality. Designed in the early days of Audio Research’s rise, the EC-22 brings that classic ARC sensibility to system tuning: clean signal paths, thoughtful circuitry, and a sound that stays out of the way while letting the music do its thing. Sonically, it’s smooth, coherent, and remarkably transparent, helping active systems lock in tighter bass, clearer mids, and better overall balance without adding glare or grain. It’s utilitarian in looks, serious in purpose, and quietly brilliant—one of those behind-the-scenes components that doesn’t ask for attention, but earns respect the moment you hear what it does.
