[QUOTE="Shonver, post: 8268, member: 34"] While this is not quite optimal, it sounds like a typical engineering compromise. I'm not sure whether D'Appolito bothered with distortion profiling of the drivers... what did Linkwitz use in the Orion..? The issue with XO frequency is the power response (BTW, if you don't have D'Appolito's Testing Loudspeakers, you're missing out big time). You want to cross over to the next higher (frequency range) driver before it* starts to roll off off-axis. But this means higher input power into the tweeter (in this case). Only the better tweets (such as the one in question) manage to pull off this trick with[b]out[/b] producing terrible amounts of distortion. *The lower frequency driver. [/QUOTE]
