Power handling is not an issue as I rarely listen above loud conversation level.
No doubt, there are issues with the xo that need to be rectify, but without proper test gear and a lack of technical skills, it?s just not going to happen.
I?ll post a drawing of the xo later, welcome all comments, useful or otherwise.

My experience and conclusion as well. I was going to say in my earlier post that the 6db xo worked well at medium to moderately loud volume only. Couldn't keep up with my 19's at high volume! Would like to see your xo drawing and values.
