In my original posting on this subject I said " If there is any success it will be entirely due to serendipity or your subjective preference for whatever." In regard to your first experiment in para. 1 above I suggest that the latter is the case. However if you liked it, great. We are all free to like anything.

BTW, I didn't say that the crossover for the LS50 would need adjustment. I said that the crossover of the KUBE is unsuitable to drive the mid/bass unit of the LS50s and that you would need to bypass the LS50's crossover by connecting the KUBE directly to the drive unit(s), though that would still be incorrect. Rudimentary audio engineering. I also said that if you connected the KUBE to the input terminals of the LS50 then you will have the KUBE's crossover driving the LS50's crossover. Also rudimentary audio engineering or, rather, basic logic.

And, no, a loudspeaker will not output the frequency range it receives if that range is then put through further equalisation - as in your case if the LS50s' crossovers were still active and you used the KUBE. Furthermore frequency range is not the only parameter that a typical crossover addresses (which is germane to my comments) but I will leave that to you to read up on if you are interested.
