Those OPA1612 op-amps are last generation and sound great. Signal paths are kept as short as possible, PSU section is shielded with mu-metal. I can put my ear against my tweeters and everything is dead silent. No distortion, no noise, full transparency. I certainly cannot hear the nasty "op amp sound" of yore. Believe me I've spent months trying to tweak my previous crossover (a pro TDM unit) with upgraded local decoupling, film caps, and modern op-amps, but it didn't ever come near the K231. It's MILES AHEAD. No nasty electronic sound. No flattening of depth. No blurred transients.
I need the ability to change frequency, to easily adjust volume on each band, and with the K231 I even have the choice of balanced or unbalanced inputs / outputs. There's also a continuously variable baffle step compensation (I'm not using it, but it's a nice add on).
I'm not saying there are no better options - if you say passives are better, ok I might believe you, but it cannot be anything else than very marginally better (what is the better version of "fantastic"?) and the complete loss of flexibility and adaptivity are a deal breaker for most people. I wanna be able to swap amps without requiring more than a quick gain adjustment.
