Does anyone own a tri amped system in Florida I could hear?

That is my query. I have an audiophile friend in Australia who swears by this approach, and I am wondering just how many levels up one can go in SQ as well as full extension tone in doing this. I am a very happy balanced analog EQer for tone but want to experience everything. 
Thanks!  Sorry I don’t have my system posted still but I’ll put it in the next box here.

A bit of history for the fun of it, the first powered and active speakers from JBL 1959-64 Hartfield and Paragon see here. 😎

Very cool!  As far as same amps for each of the lows/mids/highs for the sake of coherence, that does make sense. My buddy’s approach is a bit different, with different flavors of amp for each, based on his sonic preferences. Similarly, different  cables for same reasons. He however has access to the gear and has devoted endless attention to trial and error. He’s got it tuned and loves his results so far. It has to be very tricky though. With different amp sensitivity, etc. 

Aside, is it best to do all this with DSP or analog active Xover?  My friend uses a K231 by Sublime. Analog. Says it’s the best.

I personally prefer an active DSP Xover. It gives you many more options. over an analog unit.
