A very advantageous proposition IMO.
Also a very complicated one -- more so than it may seem at first sight UNLESS one has the spkr's crossover schematic with annotations, if possible... that seems unlikely for a hi-end speaker.
A seemingly simple 1st order x-over at "X" kHz, may hide contours, notches, delays (rare), padding AND the hi vs low passes may be at slightly different points!
This has been done before, of course, with full knowledge of the passive x-over elements. As to components used, a dsp, a simple Behringer, provide all the functionality needed. BTW, don't forget the need for more amplification channels, too (i.e., for a 2-way speaker:4, for a 3-way, six, etc).
