General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Oh boy, more

Don't move the goalposts. We're talking CABLES. Cables are pre-filter.
Voltage does not get attenuated pre-filter. Only post filter.
Current is attenuated in the whole branch, i.e., in the individual cables - with one feeding each filter.

Let's make it even simpler.

In a pair of bi-wire cables, the current to the low pass filter is only low pass current. The current to the high-pass filter is only high-pass current.

The sum of both currents electrically would be equal to the highpass current and the lowpass current combined, which is precisely what you see at the amplifier terminals IF only one amp is used.

If two amps are used, in a passive bi-wire configuration, each amp (like each cable) sees respective filter current only. (High sees high, low sees low).

Cheers,
Presto
