Something to shout about then...
Performance improvement or cost cutting?😮
I bet it is cost cutting🤔
It would be neat if you could opt one way or the other, as I'm sure there are advantages to both amps.

An interesting take... with a spin.
Vox or Lab... historically Pentas or Panels.
Disconnect the amps... et viola!
I would LOVE to see a modern take on both.
Manufacturing simplicity and meeting price points in one go!
I would be first in line for a Mondrian Mk. II

Its something B&O is really without these days, optionability (I guess you would call it) and you nailed it perfect Jeff. The brand would get a lot of new attention and new customers who are used to passive speakers (a huge majority of people). This would allow for those hybrid/mix systems that are so widespread (differing brands combined).

BINGO, BANGO, BONGO... as an old prof of mine used to say...
Not exactly for this thread... but I thought an option between active/passive made more sense than just more amp choices.
With that said... I hope that any 600(2) or 800(2) would at least add some form of ALT -elevating or otherwise.

Sounds like we need to fly to Denmark and pitch this! 😂
Do you think that a new line of passive speakers would demand a new set of [B&O] receivers with integrated amps? Like regular receivers? This would also allow B&O to play the same game in reverse, your non B&O speakers powered by a B&O receiver...
EDIT
Conventional style B&O receivers would also extend the facilities of integration and other standard features B&O has made standard in its music centers but available at a lower price.

A passive version of these speakers would be very difficult to make sound reasonable. The amplifiers are used to boost the bass and generally flatten out the problems of putting small speakers in a drainpipe!
