Bill in public address there are phase and amplitude problems because drive units are being fudged for maximum SPLs, DSP chips can help but not fully resolve the problems. The same applies to the ubiquitous 3" dome, DSP would help but a decent modern cone drive unit works far better.
However in purist High fidelity or studio monitoring applications, far better performing drive units can and should be chosen. They will require no fudging just a crossover that conforms to classic theory and a crossover is an analogue function.These are issues we don't think are fully understood by many manufacturers, otherwise loudspeakers would be much better than they are.
