Romy, I plan to build Melquiades. But there are couple of questions:
1-One of speaker options is Gryphon Trident, it is an active bass speaker so Mel should drive MF & HF only. In your opinion can Mel drive these speakers?  

Armen, I have no idea. What does it mean drive? To power Gryphon’s MF & HF only in the room of your size and do not send stages into A2? Mostly likely it will. Will it sound as it could with higher sensitivity drivers? I do not know but I doubt.

2-If yes then driving an active speaker Mel doesn't need to handle LF so what modification it needs to serve this purpose?  

I you have an active speaker and want like to use Melquiades then you need a DSET configuration, Find out where and how your Gryphon rolls off MF and introduce the same filter from your DSET in the amp. Use much lower value of coupling capacitor and OPT with much less inductance to optimize the amp for HF operation.
