In the real world, relatively few crossovers nicely fit an established model, such as "4th order Linkwitz-Riley". In most cases, due to the non-textbook behavior of the drivers, a non-textbook crossover works best. Having heard good and bad speakers of every conceivable crossover type, I no longer have a favorite, aside from "whatever works well" in a particular case.
Crossover designs...
I've just begun wrapping my head around crossover designs, reading about Linkwitz-Reilly (sp?) designs with subwoofer external crossovers and first-order crossovers with Royd and Thiel speakers (both of which I own).
Interested in any discussions about pros and cons of various designs, as well as white papers and links to good reads.
Thank you.
