Go Active Crossover or Upgrade existing XOs?

It was recently suggested to me that rather than doing a crossover upgrade

I look into an active crossover for my Tannoy FSMs. Anyone experienced enough

to guide me? What advantages does active provide?

Although speaker systems almost always have distortion many, many times greater than a quality audio component, that does not mean that the speaker system will not reveal faults in those components. What you wrote is a bit ambiguous, so perhaps that’s not what you intended to say.
