That's a pretty bizarre circuit, at least given my brief experiences with crossover design. I can't tell if you posted that sarcastically or not. It depicts a 2nd-order high-pass filter with an L-pad for the SB29 driver, and a 3rd-order lowpass with a Zobel for impedance smoothing and C3 paralleled with L3 as a notch filter to smooth response, perhaps, for the AnarchyTop driver. Where it gets really strange is that the 2nd-order low-pass network for the AnarchyBottom driver formed by L5 and C5 is in SERIES with the xo circuit for the AnarchyTop driver...resulting in what....some kind of esoteric 5th-order result?! For a low-pass filter for a woofer?!? I don't understand that at all. Don't recognize the RLC circuit paralleled to the source, either..?? If this schematic really did come from Henry Kloss, I'd sure love to learn more about what's going on here. Henry has forgotten more than I'll ever know about this stuff....that's a given. Just don't get this. Did I miss something?
