RE: Arrival after a long resistor journey

Because the wires are only a few inches long, I'm simply stringing them in a straight line or loose U shape between xover parts. They might be subject to air borne vibration that way, but are also cooled more efficiently than if wrapped in tubing. I probably would find better protection if xover is inside speaker enclosure. If higher resistance values are required, longer wire would need to be folded somehow. I would avoid coiling, as it could produce excessive inductance.

There are Manganin foil resistors available from Parts Collective in UK. Wish I had known that beforehand. They do cost more and come in fixed values, but the packaging is more secure although as a consequence they require use of a readily available small heatsink.
berate is 8 and benign is 9
