Why not go crossover-less?


Would there not be an advantage to place the crossover in the linestage instead of the speaker?
Think of the savings of not having to have to buy duelunds at those high values;~)

But you lose flexibility, you have to chose the drivers and then design the crossover for them. You will not be able to use other speakers without modifying the crossover. This is why this approach, despite advantages, has never taken hold. Most audiophiles middle name is change and this renders it very difficult.
A crossover in the line stage means using at least 2 amps, you can't feed 2 signals to the same amp.
