Seems to me that both of these articles say basically the same thing.
From the second...

-------------------------- The full-frequency signal arrives at both
crossovers through the red/+ conductor and each is filtered so that the
driver receives only the signal it needs. The signals are then passed
back to the amp along the corresponding black/- conductors, but because
the high and low frequencies have already been separated, each has no
affect on the other - the delicate treble is not overpowered by the
bass. --------------------------

No sign of anyone there who has even heard of 'linear superposition',
then... Why am I not astonished, I wonder?

The question is, however, can the treble be overpowered by the bass in a
wire? Of this, I'm very, very doubtful.

You would be correct to have serious doubts. It is technobabble.

Unlike amplifiers, I don't believe cables clip the signal or have
headroom issues. It would seem, however, that both of the aforelinked
articles rest on the presupposition that they do. Which isn't terribly
scientific.

The problem isn't that it isn't 'scientific'. The problem is that it is
nonsense.

Slainte,

Jim
