  is that (IIRC from the old thread) he didn't use a true three-way crossover- it was more of a two-way, w/o a midrange band. Like a 2.5R/2.6R,
  apparently.

    This is the crossover utilized in the Magnestand 3.6. It's a series conversion but with the tweeter driven via a standard parallel network.

      Ah, interesting. So no low-pass on the mids?

        Yep. Which is quite a departure from the stock 3.6 crossover which uses a fairly steep electrical filter on the midrange top end.
        The ribbon tweeter in this configuration is not embraced for its advantages but viewed more as an augmentation super-tweeter.
        You'd have to ask PG's crossover design guy what he was thinking, but since they approached everything from the series configuration paradigm a "hybrid" setup like this emerged.
        Interesting horizontal polar response in the upper end I would imagine.
        Dave.

        Can someone simulate the frequency responses for that crossover?

        Yep, I did this quite awhile back when I was conversing with Nate regarding it. Heck, it's been almost five years ago now. Time flies. :)
