Is the main reason to use 500Hz xo frequency to reduce the harmonic distortion of the mid/tweet by keeping its displacement very small? I have tried 400Hz and 500Hz xo's and find them more pleasing to the ears than 250Hz or 350Hz. Is the answer simy less distortion? Also, it lets a large cone woofer do the heavy hitting with the upper bass "punch".

The answer appears to be less IMD. I've put more plots up that show reduction of IMD with increasing crossover point.
