Anybody have an actively multi-amplified system?

In my own case, I just never did, at the time I was considering the idea, get past the extra cost and complexity (especially since I use a DAC, which have required an extra A-to-D and D-to-A conversion). And I'd be curious to know what kind of volume-control solution you came up with...I feel I eventually would likely have found one, but for me I knew it would neither be easy nor cheap...especially if resistor-based solutions (or better) were the goal, which they were for me. In the end I managed to get around some the performance disadvantages (actually in some quite unorthodox ways, as it turned out) of sticking to passive crossovers and a single amp per channel, but of course not completely so, as I'm sure you can imagine. Another thing, by way of the Behringer DCX that I was considering, was being able to digitally time align the drivers in my 3-way towers (no sub). I actually may still, at some point, rebuild my speaker cabinets so as to be able to do this physically, when I have the money and have figured out the last of the of the how-to's. But, after some point of looking into the idea of multi amping before your post, I did reach the realization that the potential for performance gain is unquestionably a real and valid thing. And I also can't say why it hasn't been discussed more than it has either, but I agree with you that just because manufacturers have dropped the ball on embracing the concept doesn't mean the rest of us have to - so kudos for being willing to help mark the trail and for starting this thread and I hope for everyone's sake others will join in. Good post. Regards. John
