Actively bi-amping B&W Matrix 800's

Does anyone have any knowledge about this speaker being modified with active crossovers so that you can bi-amp. I've read that Dan D-Agostino of Krell used to have a pair done this way by using his KBX crossover with excellent results. Is it still available? Other options? Any information would be helpful.

The mid and hi pass filter for the B&W Matrix 800 are of very high quality. The mids and highs sound very transparent even when driven passively.
IMHO, the majority of the current drawn from amps goes to the woofers therfore just going active with the 'Bass' is an effective and wise move.

BTW, does KBX have both RCA and balanced in/outputs ?
