I think it would be fantastic if Outlaw would put some if its independent spirit into an active crossover option for at least their own loudspeakers. Hopefully the overall cost would not change that much. Some purchasers would not be spending money on the passive crossover design and components, instead putting those resources into the active crossover. For those willing to give this a try, Outlaw may be selling a greater mix of 7075’s/7125’s and fewer 200/300 WPC amps (unless you’ve got some serious watt lust), but still it would be a good start. True bi-/tri-amplification needs an everyman audio enthusiast champion company that lets people who are not comfortable with DIY move into this arena without spending really big bucks.

Speaking of DIY and big bucks, even if only for education:

Some interesting reading on bi-amp/tri-amp can be found at Elliot Sound Products – Articles , Benefits of Bi-Amplification, parts 1 and 2. Links are in there for related projects.

Some of the best loudspeakers in the world are direct-to-driver from the amplifier stages, like the B&W flagship Nautilus . What can they achieve partly due to active crossovers and four amplifier channels per speaker? Within the bandwidth of 25Hz to 20kHz, a response flat to within +/- 0.5 dB! The odd cabinet design puts the rear-side driver radiations into what amounts to one section of an anechoic chamber sized for the individual frequency ranges as needed.

For the less wealthy, do some exploring at LinkwitzLab . Even if you never buy his products, there’s a lot to learn there.

For those not familiar with this stuff, take it slow and read some of the above information in bite-size doses. Happy learning!
