I have a question and if it is inappropriate, I apologize. I agree that 130 Hz is an extremely high crossover frequency. This being true, why does Magico crossover its monstrous 15" woofers to the midbass 12" woofers at 120 Hz? Why wouldn't the crossover frequency be much lower? How can a 15" woofer accurately reproduce frequencies in the 120 Hz range, even if the crossover slope is 24 dB per octave?

This is not meant to be about the M9 speaker per se, but subs in general. I would have thought this impossible, but it obviously is (possible) and even desirable. And Magico states this to be an extremely low crossover frequency for these woofers, necessitating an outboard electronic crossover.

Perhaps Ivan could graciously comment.

Best
