Some speakers use a combination of the methods. My 4333A's have two sets of terminals and a switch.
In the second switch position the terminals normally used connect only to the woofer, and the network to the woofer is truncated; the low pass filter and response tailoring are removed, . . . This setup eliminates the big inductor from the woofer circuit, thereby improving transient response in the low frequencies.
An external low pass network would be used between the preamp and the power amp.
An amplifier for the mid and high frequencies would then be connected to the other set of terminals.
The advantage . . . is to be able to choose different amps for high and low frequencies, as is often desireable.
