One of mine had a bad crossover so that was part of the excuse to go ahead and modify them for bi-amping. At least that is what I am using to justify the expense. I like them as well but I am really used to the sound and smoothness of active DSP processing. I don't think I have had to touch a 31 band more than a handful of times in the last few years. It has made me lazy with the monitor rigs. It is also real easy to get a good sound fast with them. I really needed to spend some time with an analyzer and the EQ's and clean the SM 159's up a bit more but they were at least plenty loud after I rang them out. I remember making 4 or 5 cuts per box very quickly though. Usually it is none or one or two at the very most. Most of my shows are outside though.
