RE: Hi Todd, You are right but we're pretty much stuck with the recordings.

"I did mean after it leaves the power amp in the case of the two passive spkr level crossover types, and after it leaves the pre-amp in the case of both types of line-level crossovers."

It depends on the "order" of the crossover filter. Some crossovers are first order, where it's either an inductor or capacitor filtering the tweeter. Second order is two elements, inductor-capacitor or capacitor-inductor. (Two caps or two inductors can also be used, via intermediate resistor.) Third order is cap-ind-cap or ind-cap-ind. And so on. The higher order means less interference between the drivers (steeper filter slopes), but the signal travels through more devices, which could degrade sound.

I hope this is the answer you're looking for. If not, you might want to provide more specifics.
