McIntosh MC901's internal active crossover & speaker's internal passive crossover

hi all,
There are two sets of crossovers in a single system. What do you think? good or bad? why or why not?

To maximize the performance of MC901, do I need to disconnect speakers' internal passive crossover from the bass, mid range and tweeter units?

thank you!

That's simply mistaken and, as I noted, easily tested with a DMM or VOM.
