A lot of speaker designers think it is a mistake to switch drivers when reproducing fundamentals -- why would you want the low notes of a violin coming from a bass/mid driver and the higher strings coming from a tweeter? There is an inevitable phase shift that you have to deal with.
By having a crossover in the 3 to 3.5 KHz range, the switch of drivers primarily affects the harmonics.
