I must say I have to totally agree with your treatise on the matter. From what I have seen in a lot of 'philes systems is the lack of attending to the HUGE power requirements of the mid-range; particularly the mid-bass/upperbass/low midrange. My personal approach is to keep the deepest bass out of all this, and address the needs of the total mid-range.There are various ways to do this along with the never ending debate as to where
a crossover point is best placed. I think most would agree to keep a x-over point out of the "mid-range". I'd be all alone on a desert aisle if I suggest: below 60 for deep bass, 60-180 for mid-bass, 180-800 for low mid-range, 800 to either "all the way up" (OR) if you MUST add a tweeter in, keep it above 5K.
