Ummmm... Really?

Crossover filters, even relatively steep slopes, are just that... sloped.  There is a curve.  Acoustic energy radiates from both pass bands for roughly an octave on the "downhill side" of the crossover.

And while really steep slopes may "seem" like a good idea-there are issue that come along with them-such as ringing-additional delay and so forth.

It is not always a "free lunch".  You often have to choose between the lessor of 2 evils.  And until you look deeper-you may not actually "see" the evil that lurks within.  Kinda like politics-but I don't want to go there.

Of oucrse you can just simply choose to "ignore" the facts (just like in politics)-but that does not mean that it isn't there.

Kinda like comb filtering.  Just because someone can't figure out how to reduce it-does not mean it is not there and does not affect the overall performance.  But there are better ways-just maybe not in their current toolbox.
