I did a test with the genelec 6010s I have. The bass distorts way before before any high frequency problems occur, and woofer distortion happens before any protection circuit cuts in.. When the crossover is made higher, more level can be achieved at those frequencies, with less I'll effects. (I didn't push to far as I still need them.:) The program material used, was mastered music tracks of various genres. Obviously in a mixing situation high frequency overload could be different. Subs are a must. The more you have, the more even the response around the room?
