RE: driver pollarity

"ideally yes, but its not always possible to do that and not have suckouts at or near the xover points. some pretty respectable brands invert polarity of the tweeter or other driver to avoid them."

Quite true.... But the few times I've "tweaked" such speakers, even with the FR aberrations, I've preferred the drivers all with the same polarity.

In order for the speakers to do well with both FR and the drivers all in phase, the drivers also have to be time-aligned.... Such designs require a lot more work, including acoustic evaluation (impulse and/or square wave response) to determine correct alignment, and then designing the cabinet with stepped or sloped baffle to accommodate the aligned drivers.
