I have 1.7's powered by a Hegel 190 amp, plus 2 active sealed subs. A DEQX DSP/DAC room correction, eq, and crossover unit means the amp and Maggies don't have to deal with the lower bass frequencies, and I can play as loud as I need to ;-) Because I have bypassed the attenuator and fuse in the Maggies there is the ever-present possibilty of blowing tweeters, but I'm hoping that the amp is less likely to clip with the DEQX crossover diverting the (power-needy) bass to the active subs. Fingers crossed ;-)

I have my own definition of slam: slam is when a pianist is really reaching the limits of their instrument, and sometimes you can hear the playing is almost turning into the whole damn box being slammed into the ground, ala that Dafos space on the inestimable Mickey Hart album.
Curious: where do you feel the need to crossover? I have my single ML Depth set to the 45hz crossover and run the LRS's full range. I do not get thesame Dafos/Richter slam w/o the sub. The LRS's have plenty of punch [for my volume levels] on their own down to ~50hz.
I am lucky. I don't mind that a sub has to do that work. If it bothered me, um, I haven't calculated that into my retirement plans.
