[QUOTE="AV, post: 16471, member: 472"] A loudspeaker with passive crossover is designed to be used with a full frequency amplifier or it can be bi-amped (if allowed by the crossover) with two full frequency amplifiers, each amp driving only the frequency range allowed by the passive crossover, reducing the load on the amplifiers. (A good amplifier should be stable with any load. :D) With loudspeakers using active crossovers, the crossover-unit should be part of the speaker system, then each amplifier receive only the relevant frequencies to amplify and drive the speaker (driver) directly. I don't know of any loudspeakers that allow for both ways directly, except as Shaun said some may offer an upgrade (modification). Andr? [/QUOTE]
