there is one very good reason series xo's are used

they are superior to parallel. I found this out 25 years ago with the integration of an Altec 511 horn to a 515 woofer after reading about series xo's somewhere, maybe it was Fulton. They are much more phase coherent and it was slap you in the face obvious comparing the 2.

THE problem with them is the power to the drivers because the series xo's are only 6db/octave. This is with plain series types but maybe they have figured a way to make the slopes more steep and remove more of the lowest frequencies making their way to the mids and tweeters which would increase power handling.
