If you search the site for it and add the above at the end of the url (after .html) you will get the price.
Then sell, return or donate to science the pair you enjoyed less.
Make sure to volume match them with a least an spl meter(even an app with work okay for level matching but note the ultimate SPL levels might not be accurate in an app especially for Android but for level matching that is fine) or better yet get a quality Mic and free REW software for more complex level matching.
Lower price and less guilt when you return them.

This being a budget minded speaker is actually a good thing, it allows me to experiment like this without sinking a whole lot of money.
listen to 903 and 909 demo, sure 503 will not sounds the same, but you get idea where they coming from:

You can mess around with DSP and add whatever additional 'crossover' you want on top of that but the passive components don't go away so you are really going to need to measure things understand the design or will likely just make things worse (at least from the viewpoint of accurate responce)
If you want to try and make active speakers (speakers with no passive crossovers) and play with designing your own electronic/DSP based crossover, you must physically remove the passive crossovers and rewire. You can do this with any speaker.
I have done quite a bit of DIY speakers stuff. I am all for you trying things. That said there is a long road ahead if actually want to design stuff yourself. Yes for $149 it is a good model to tear into.
Bi-amping passive speakers is almost always a waste except in some niche cases.

Here is sound test for 503, be your own judge:

The recording techniques used and microphone placement affect the sound.
The room affects it.
All your headphones/speakers that you are using playback the input sound differently.
And more.
You cant listen to a recording of set of speakers on YouTube like this and asses anything. You are not listening to them.
