When a passive crossover is Necessary and time alignment is Not Possible. Is there a less problematic to the ears frequency between 400hz and 1000hz to cross over at?

Best crossover point between 400hz and 1000hz?

There are too many variables to just pick a crossover frequency. The best crossover frequency will depend on the drivers being used along with the baffle they are on. IMO in a properly designed crossover there really no problematic area if the drivers are up to task.

I listen to a lot of my favourite classical music through horns only ( using various compression drivers ) to assess the drivers ability in the lower octaves ( using various passive crossover topologies ).
Classical music can sound surprisingly full range with a second order 750 hz crossover point ( & I can hear the grunge start to take hold when using a simple first order with smaller diaphragmed drivers ).

I'd advise you to at least align the voice coils belonging to the two different horn drivers ( that's way better than a kick in the pants ).

The project for consideration will have a midbass with a 54" path length (about. folded horn with one wide turn). The midrange will be from 14 to 26" depending upon crossover and so then driver choice. The tweeter and midrange will be physically time aligned. The midrange and midbass cannot but will of course need to be in phase at crossover point.
Lowest possible crossover is 225 to 250hz. Hightest possible is 800hz maybe 1000hz.
Thanks for the input.

And what to do IF you want to use a 10-12 woofer. 1000 Hz is much.....
