I have not yet decided on a DIY speaker build but it seems that crossovers are the most problematic part of speaker design and performance.
Electronic crossovers are available, relatively inexpensive ($100-200) and are professional grade. Some boutique speaker designers offer "upgraded" crossovers that are sometimes many times more expensive than the actual speaker. The forums are replete with modifications to existing crossovers.
Many popular passive loudspeakers have dual binding posts from the factory.
It doesn't seem that difficult to produce 4, 6 or 8 channel amplifiers with electronic crossovers and DSP in a single box. Heck, home theater receivers are 90% there already.
