As DR said, the results weren't so good, though I don't think we were ever absolutely sure that it was the crossover (the problems were in the midbass IIRC and the listening room has a big effect there).It's actually pretty hard to do a single pole crossover, because of the much higher demand it puts on the drivers vis a vis mass, power response/dispersion, IM, power handling, and resonances/breakup.
