I'll go with Eric on this one. Digital cross overs is absolutely the way to go especially if all your sources are digital. We can argue about analog later.
You can do almost anything you want in the digital world without distortion. Using digital cross overs and multiple amplifiers makes the most sense if you are making your own speakers. It gives you total control of the situation and if you have a good room control system you can measure the results. Millercarbon you are wrong here. Many manufacturers give you the opportunity to bi amp. Magnepan and Wilson do this. The famous Levinson HQD system was tri amped.
Gadios, It all depends how you do it. Implementation is everything and it will cost you some money. It is possible you might be better off just getting new speakers. If you like playing around and experimenting great but, if you have not got a way to test what you are doing you might wind up out to sea without a compass. If you like your speakers you might consider getting a new amplifier.
