And there is no substitute for listening to it, no matter how careful the "calculations".  Anyway, I don't have it "figured out", that's for sure. Some guys figure in and use the inductor DCR in lieu of resistors (apropos), which seems clever.

I actually think there is more "slop" available at speaker level, and this may be the main "attraction" for me; but I like at least the idea of smaller parts at line level, albeit more need for precision.

It's been quite a while since I used a variable active X-over, so no recent frame of reference/aural memory, since back in the days of "flat".

If Marko "needs" 3rd order, is somerthing else amiss?

Best regards,
Paul S
