RE: about Absolute Polarity

I think you will find that almost all speakers which use a passive crossover with 12dB slope will invert the tweeter. This is because a passive 12dB xover introduces a 180deg phase shift between woofer and tweeter. Inverting the tweeter reduces the resulting problems but does not eliminate them. This can all be easily avoided by using an active xover.
One of the many reasons active xover are inherently superior to passive ones.

PS: if one hears a marked improvement using Behringer xovers it only shows that even the worst active xover is better then a well-designed and executed passive one.
