HI.Active X'overs can be a huge can of worms, as I heard complains from quite a few audiophile friends who spent years & good moneys to get it right. Of course, I am not talking ahout the same brandname you mentioned. The X-over frequency issue is already hard to resolve right.
Is that the critics' appraisals led you going into it or you actually heard it really so great somewhere.
IMO, I don't want to touch it for stereo music, which I only go for as I am yet to be convinced that the now very popular multi digital home theatre sound can take over the sonic subtlies of a good stereo system. Maybe I belong to the old conservative asses.
I've taken s much milder approach - to avoid getting into the restless sonic 'trap' my audio acquaintances already stepped into. I've taken discrete passive bi-wiring approach by upgrading my two-way factory single-wired speaker system.
I am very happy with such passive upgrade which I DIYed myself.
To make the long story short, you can check up my posts in Cable Assembly & Propeller Head Plaza in these few months on passive bi/multi-wiring topics.
Sorry, I can't contribute here in salvaging your current situation which I want to steer away.
