Hi.Less the X-over network parts, passive or active reqardless, less signal loss (distortion) & better will be the sound. Theoretically, less speaker count inside the speaker box, more musical would be the sound - less X-over harmonic & phase distortion. Easier for an amp to drive.
Also passive is a less harmful devil than any active. Many like the sorta clinical sound of active X-over system, but no thanks for me.
The question is: music first or electronics first?
