Does anyone own a tri amped system in Florida I could hear?

I know I am clearly in over my head. But I knew that already with my Aussie friend anyway still want a listen!  

A bit of history for the fun of it, the first powered and active speakers from JBL 1959-64 Hartfield and Paragon see here. 😎

Very cool!  As far as same amps for each of the lows/mids/highs for the sake of coherence, that does make sense. My buddy’s approach is a bit different, with different flavors of amp for each, based on his sonic preferences. Similarly, different  cables for same reasons. He however has access to the gear and has devoted endless attention to trial and error. He’s got it tuned and loves his results so far. It has to be very tricky though. With different amp sensitivity, etc. 

Aside, is it best to do all this with DSP or analog active Xover?  My friend uses a K231 by Sublime. Analog. Says it’s the best. 

I personally prefer an active DSP Xover. It gives you many more options. over an analog unit.

Ok. Fair enough. Can anyone comment on the sonic attributes of analog active X over vs DSP active X over?
