RE: Series vs Parallel XO & Maggie Physics.

Well, there are advantages to using higher order crossovers, including reduced lobing, improved dispersion, avoidance of driver breakup and resonances, the ability to run a driver at a lower crossover point without excessive harmonic distortion, etc. Since we don't seem to be able to hear small amounts of group delay, it makes sense to use the crossover that sounds best -- although there are designers who swear by 6 dB/octave slopes. Now digital technology is opening up new possibilities, in that you can use linear phase FIR filters that allow you to go beyond 4 poles, though you do get some pre- and post- ringing.
