Digital Crossover for 1.7's - Needed?

Posted by Radiohead on June 27, 2020 at 17:50:14:
I was watching a YouTube Video of an "influencer" (Mike from OCD Hi-Fi Guy) setting up his Magnepan .7s' and he was strongly suggesting that an electronic crossover is needed after the pre-amp cutting frequencies below 80Hz to the Maggies and sending all sub frequencies to the plate amps of the separate left & right subs. In his video, he gives some music samples with and without the crossover. In the samples you can clearly hear the deeper base frequencies impacting the mid's and highs and after sending everything below 80Hz to the sub's everything cleans up.

I thought I would reach out to the community to see if others are running a crossover. I guess the physics of this makes sense for the lower end Maggies like my 1.7's with the single panel design.

Thoughts?
