Active crossovers

There's an abundance of info and opinions on just about every topic under the sun in audio, down to the smallest minutiae.

I have problem finding opinions on active crossovers and which sound good, or not. Or which offer good bang for the bucks. Or whether tubed crossovers are better than SS.

So what's the skinny on this?

Oh, and I'd like to ad a Stupid Crossover Question of my own:
The XO will match the levels of the low/high amps, but each amp will have a different sensitivity. Would you have to match the amp levels each time you change the volume?

Yes, having an amp with adjustable volume control gains, like the Parasounds (God bless em for doing so!!!), makes live way easier when you biamp!
Hey, also let me know which active crossover you are ending up with ultimately!!! I would like to know for my own references/uses! The only one I can recall having heard implemented is the Krell, and am currious to hear how the Bryston, or others, sounds!
