Speaker design without passive x-over?


Has anyone achieved success with a x-overless speaker in which the amplifier is fed the appropriate signals, (passive or active x-over before the amplifier).
I was told one of the benefits is adjustment of tweeter midrange and woofer levels to ones taste.
Tube amps will be used with tube preamps.

The reason I ask is someone is proposing to me that I take this route in my next system.
I have reservations over building speakers since I lack the experience and know-how.
Nonetheless he is bent on this happening.
Of course I will not be making any moves until I hear it first which will happen some time soon.
So far I have come to the conclusion that even the speakers listed as class a in the mags don't exactly satisfy, therefore I doubt I can build something that I am after.
I recently have heard many different brands and the only three or four speakers I like are wilson alexandrias x-2 verity audio, mbl's and of course merlins.
