I tried a full active 3 way once. I really wish that my experience was better, it makes really good sense to me. Again, working with an engineer and using a Berringer 24/96 unit with a 3 channel Bryston amp, and some great speakers to hook this all up to. Slopes and frequencies all worked out on paper. Listening, well it was easy for me to choose the passive crossover designed by the same engineer. I was out of the loop and so changing any of this up wasn't an option. I really do wish you well with this experience. Audio can be a very satisfying encounter even when you have to tweek to get what you want.
I wanted to go with a DSP for a crossover, but none I've seen for a reasonable cost can do 24/192 which is what the USB audio interface I have is capable of and I don't want the crossover to be the limiting factor far as sound quality is concerned.
Besides the DSP crossover would be taking an analog signal converting it to digital then back to analog again so the resultant sound depends on how good the ADC and DAC chips are.
The passive I have, I used in a previous three way amplified system and it sounded great.
