Default What's your view of speaker crossovers?

If your drivers are up to the task, just use a first order crossover ( 6dB /

By its very nature it can't screw up. It will always give constant power and
pressure and eliminate any phase 'nasties'.


No, a singe order crossover can't be linear phase - you need at least
second order to achieve that.


Nonsense.

The vector sum of a first order crossover is flat in both amplitude and phase.
