I disagree. A line-level crossover gives you active, not passive
"bi-amping". Splitting the passive crossover by removing the bi-wire
links, where fitted, and using either horizontal (one bass amp, one
treble amp) or vertical (one amp per speaker) bi-amping gives you twice
the power reserve/headroom and can certainly give a better sound.

However, getting rid of the passive crossover entirely and going
"active" is a different ballgame.

The best passive crossover is no passive crossover.
