Krell KBX crossover.

I was doing some reading on the Krell KBX crossover and was really interested in finding one for my speakers which are B&W Matrix 800s. I am running a Krell FPB 600 with Krell B&W baf ( bass alignment filters, balanced). ARC Ref 6. Are the Krell KBX only used when bi or tri amping? Also what sonic advantages would the KBX bring to my speakers. Thanks in advance.

This looks to be the goods for a good 24db active 2 or 3 way, for $499!!!
Only gripe I have about it, I would have much preferred to have dip switches to set the xover frequencies than predetermined set frequency card insertions.

Seems to be 2 way stereo or 3 way mono.
Lovely build if it were 24db slope I could give the resistors to change, unfortunately looking/reading this it’s only 12db slope
