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.

I read somewhere that B&W allows you to Bi-Amp but you still go through one half of a passive Xover...at least you reduce IMD distortion that way but you don't make it a whole lot easier of a load to drive.

Full Actives are possible but are probably best left to be designed properly by the manufacurer besides if you monkey around with the internal guts of the speaker then surely you will affect the resale value (if you are honest about it when/if you come to sell)
