Aerial 10T MK2 switch to active xover and/or more?

Did anybody switch to electronic crossover in these speakers?
I fairly recently boght these speakers and still in the quest of getting from them the best sound.

First my consern was about dedicated Sound Anchor stands, but elevating them didn't seem to be the good idea to me since my listening height is aligned with speaker position.

My second and consern is overemphisized bass. I think that crossover point to woofer should be lowered. I might also think that isolating bass cabinette from the floor placing them onto Sound Anchor stands, but not sure of the magnitude.

Please share your thoughts
Thanks!

Speakers are currently driven with 2xSunfire SRA in biamplified configuration, Classe 30 preamp. Listening Distance = Distance between speakers =~5'6". Ceiling height = 9'4"

I have Aerial 8's and the bass is not muddy. Your amps are not up to par for those speakers. Aerial speakers like high-end power. I have a Classe' ca-400 and this amp makes them sing and I mean sing. The bass is tight,crisp and fast. I would upgrade your equiptment first.
I use to have B&W 801's with Northcreek crossovers & Martin Logan Monoliths that sounded great and wonderful but they needed the best amps and so on.
I would try other amps, preamps and cd players first and you will see what I am talking about. The Aerial 10's are alot of speaker with very little faults.
Hope this helps.
