You can either use the passive xo’s or take those out and use the minidsp as an active xo for single or bi amping. So no it will work fine without it and actually sounds pretty good with just the passive xo’s. In re to treatments this system is confined to my bedroom atm and there is not much I can do for treatments as there is just no room. have a window on the left side of room and a large dresser with mirror on the right side. I lisen fairly close to speakers (about 6 ft away) with the back wall about 2 ft behind my listening position which is an adjustable bed. I have thought about doing some diffusion behind the speakers as they are open baffle and are supposed to be dipole. Just have not been able to find a solution that I can implement that is easy and affordable. This is another reason for looking at dsp. Thanks for all your input I greatly appreciate it.
