How do you high pass your main speakers?

If you have a point to make, I would suggest you state it. I made some very clear points and you can’t address any of them apparently. so I am assuming that you just like talking trash about peoples input.
The only point of ignorance I have is that there is a multitude of factors you failed to mention. But I would expect you to even know what they are.

As I stated If you have the money to spend play any silly games you wish, but you would have to write a complete essay to even begin to describe what you are hearing or hope to achieve. You give One single parameter that by itself is useless. I mentioned just a couple of items that you probably don't have the background to deal with and only wished to give a little caution before you make some EXPESNSIVE mistakes. But you'll are smarter than everyone here. Of course that is why you  are asking questions of the public to begin with correct?

 You see I actually studies Electronics Engineering in College and have been designing speakers since the late 70s and I have even told stories about mistakes I have made doing some of the same types of things people are asking here, just to show that messing with something isn't always the best answer.

I don't mind people experimenting, BUT don't do something that can't be reversed easily. You seem to be saying that yo don't like your speakers or that yo know better than the engineers that designed them. I must ask what started this line of thinking for you? Was it something that you were told or read. I would dump that like a hot rock. I guess if you have the money to spend it is ultimately your choice, but just to accommodate some frivolous fantasy seems to be wasteful. OR maybe you really do have CR@PPY speakers. so what the heck, experiment away!
As far as what crossover point and the degree of rolloff, ISN'T that totally your choice. No one reding your post has any idea what yo are hearing so how can anyone hear make such a decision. This isn't something engraved in stone. That is why we spend our money on quality equipment so that we have the advantage of highly educated and experienced engineers to make these decisions for us an we don't have to play games with our equipment.
As I mentioned in another post about crossovers and capacitors, just take Mundorf capacitors, there are probably a dozen different versions of any given capacitance made my Mundorf and they all have different characteristics so do you have the engineering background to choose which one you want to use to achieve some arbitrary results that you woke up this morning and didn't like something you thought you heard?

Also Tony, Before you go complaining to management as some have in the past, I would suggest you actually READ what I have and HAVN'T said. Notice that I never cut down anyone else advise. Other that to caution you and to give you some SOUND advise on reviewing YOUR motives, I didn't cut you down Your equipment, or your choices. I suggested that MAYBE your speakers might be deficient or inferior, but you opened with that! I just gave one of dozens of reason that there are NO SIMPLE SOLUTIONS to what you are attempting to do.
