Nice job there mate..me like it

It seems you don't. Study a little about dispersion patterns of butterworth and 24db/oct linkwitz riley for example. Passive boxes typically use butterworth and 2nd order due to high cost of component and complexity of passive design.
Monitors are designed from ground up to provide an accurate sound to near field, simple as that.
Also with active speakers the amps don't even need to be over engineered since they don't have to deal with a gazillion unknown variables which are caused by speaker cables and drivers combined to the passive crossover network.
I'd love to know what set of $500 active monitors contain an active crossover network, enlighten me. I'd love to hear a set of these. I bet they would sound terrific.
What kind of speakers are you actually talking about Boonie. Honestly I don't know. I think you are focused solely on $6000 Active studio monitors with active crossover networks.
Why don't you get back to earth and FOCUS on what is being discussed. We are talking about speakers within a budget. That budget is what $500?

Back to sets of computer active speakers within the OPs budget. Take a look at the audioengine A5 for example. They are $400 active monitors... They contain, that's right. A passive crossover network, just like everything else in this price range.
Look, you can see it right here. I see an amp, I see a crossover network. What I don't see is two amps with the signal being ran through the crossover first
And since when has "over engineered" been to the detriment of anything.
Now my points, which I will say again is
1) Buying used will give you a greater return on investment
2) Separating everything means you can upgrade piecemeal saving you money.
3)Savings from 1 and 2 mean you will get better stuff.
You jump in on every thread blathering on about $6000 active monitors and how everything that doesn't share this design philosophy is worthless.
Few people here are putting together a recording studio and even fewer people here have any use for the speakers you recommend in every thread. You can also add active crossovers to powered speakers if you really care about the difference an active crossover network can make. It isn't limited to powered monitors. Many people do this. You simply buy the crossover network pull out the passives and run through the crossovers before bi-amping the speakers.

i think the Emotiva airmotiv 5 active speakers have active crossovers...
