General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: you're making this more complicated

I think the better answer is maybe. The tweeter may not be up to the task of handling the extra power.

It depends on how much the mains were being pushed to begin with and relative power handling / xmax numbers between the various drivers. If your tweeters are lightweights, the extra volume one gets from high-passing could prove.... deadly!

I actually thought for the longest time that it was a no-brainer that cutting bass out of the mains would increase the overall main level achievable, but now I think the better answer is: it depends.

Cheers,
Presto
