I was waiting to hear if there was going to be an active XO by Bruce but there doesn't seem to be anymore chatter with this.

I have some power hungry McIntosh speakers in which I have a big solid state amp pushing them. However, I would like to have the Beasts pushing the HF....which for this speaker is 250Hz and up. I can use the SS amp to push 250Hz and down.

The manufacturer states biamping using the internal passive XO is fine....but afraid to do this with a tube amp w/o an active XO in front of the Beast. They recommend with a tube amp, to put an active high pass in front of the tube amp set to one octave lower than the XO point. Then connect to the HF speaker terminals using the internal XO.

Now I use an active Ashly XO with my custom horn system and using a T16 to run the HF section with good success. But really wasn't wanting to use standard "pro equipment" to use with my McIntosh Speakers (XRT1K's).

If there is any possibility to use the Beast for the HF of my Mcintosh speakers w/o an active.......please someone tell me how to do this safely. Or please make other suggestions.
