RE: No worries..

Going to an ATC active speaker is the way to go. The biggest mistake many make is using a generic active crossover which assumes ideal drivers. No drivers are close to ideal and good crossover designers design crossovers to compensate for this so their crossovers are never classic generic. The same thing needs to be done for active crossovers. Different drivers need different adjustments. The big advantage of active crossovers is spreading the load among amps(can also be done with passive multi-amping) and especially better coupling to the drivers. The amp only has to see the inductance of the driver it's hooked to, not the complex combination of inductance and capacitance with a passive crossover.
