I think you might be confused by the full-bandwidth term... all it means is typical frequency ranges, for instance 50-20khz. Not the "full-range" chintzy speakers that try to produce upper registers with the same cone they try to produce midbass with. Of course you wanna use the crossover network for the components, aside from helping protect the gear and improve sound quality, most can be attenuated to suit tastes (and if you run MB Q speakers like I used to, you'll appreciate that!)
