RE: Key... Active measurement Assistance...

If you read again, I said "requires no acoustic testing."
Electrical-only testing (at each transducers terminals) may be required, and it has the distinct advantage of not containing any of the pitfalls acoustic testing (or listening) might. It also incorporates all parasitic characteristics of the crossover components.However, computer simulation will achieve nearly the same level of accuracy electrical testing will......assuming the components in the simulation are fairly good. Simulation of Magnepan transducer and crossovers are more straightforward in this aspect since the driver impedance's are essentially resistive. Neo's spreadsheet contains electrical transfer functions of Magnepan speakers he's never measured (either electrically or acoustically), yet I believe them to be very accurate depictions.
Cheers,
Dave.
