I am trying to figure out my new monitor situation. I am probably making this too complex, but let me know if something like this would work. I've never used anything more than passive 2-way speakers, so I am not sure exactly what to do on the crossover.

This is the setup I am trying to achieve.

Obviously I will have some sort of speaker level switcher going between the bryston and monitors. I've found a few from previous threads, but I still haven't seen a rackmount speaker level switcher.

I am also curious as to how to work the crossover into the equation.
