[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 2694183, member: 550915"] You can make the passive system a lossy and as complex as you want. Most sets sold with passive crossovers though use drivers that are pretty well matched without the need for a hugely complex passive network. As such the difference in efficiency between an active system and one running off the supplied passive network is negligible. If you are going with a prebuilt component set, one of the other benefits of an active saetup becomes moot as well and that is the flexibility to mix an match drovers from different brands and series.
