>>Like a dream ! I measured the impedance and it is not from this world. Ruler flat without ANY compensation components. The single ended amps which we use respond to that impedance with grace. Seems that you can turn them much louder without distortion and fatiguing sound.
Now last night I added the bass and everything is still super. Even though the high signal goes through an additional capacitor which is the midrange hipass.<<
The only time I got this kind of flat impedance was with no xo at all experiment I tried. So far it has been 2 for 2 in getting rid of the need for a zobel. My Class A SE Monarchy monoblocks really love this. I am running three woofers parallel but actually have an average 3 ohm impedance with the lowest dip at 1.9 ohms, which if one had a bumpy impedance, it would eat most amps up. Does not run any warmer than when I was going the 4 ohm route.

I agree. It was like inserting a much more expensive amp and pre-amp into the chain.
NOW: I am going to apply this to the project 5 still in the birth pains. I wonder how the almighty 15W will respond to that XO.
I will know by early next week how well the 15W works with it.
>>PS. yeah, lets start a company. Maybe we should register it in Switzerland. The HANDCRAFTED IN SWITZERLAND tag sells itself at higher price. Skiing, wine and cheese is better too. >>
Yep, there is something about that slogan that appeals to people. Kepp us updated with the 15W and how the series works with it.
