[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8269230, member: 628688"] Eliminating passive crossovers from a component system and replacing those with electronic crossovers does not magically unlock the true potential of your speakers. Passive crossovers should be designed to "correctly" blend a woofer with a tweeter. I put correctly in quotes because that's greatly simplifying this. You did say the other explanations you found got too technical. And with that said, there is a big risk that "going active" is very likely to a) sound worse and/or b) result in blown speakers. The crossover selection is only one part of making speakers sound good. Gotta run, I may come back to this later. [/QUOTE]
