To Bi or not to Bi, that is the question..

Hi
I have built these Karlson K15 cabs whith Beyma 15P80FE woofers (101dB/W driver senistivity). And a pair of 200Hz Tracstric horns with Radian 750 drivers (112dB/W sensitivity). I am not sure about the room/box/horn gain added.

For not loosing the 9dB difference in senistivity I figure a Bi-amp system would be very apealing. So my plan was to use my 300B SE tube amp (2x8W) for the horns, and a SS-amp (2x80w) or a Dynaco SCA-35 PP-tube amp (2x18W) for the bas woofers.
To get this working I have bought a miniDSP to be able to set the x-over and phase alignments easyly.

But this digital box (miniDSP) doesn´t "feel right" in an all analog system.

Which way would you guys go in this system ?
1. Bi-amp with a digital DSP in the system (using the drivers full sensitivity)
2. Making a analouge passive filter, using only the 300B SE tube amp (wasting 9dB senistivity in the horns)
3. Other sugestions?
