Because your crossover needs to be very complicated when your high-pass filter is very near to the speaker’s f3.If i have two subs i see no reason why i should crossover at 80Hz?

With 2.1 channel system, how do you guy separate a low frequency to sub? Kindly name the hardware thank you.

Then you will not have the expected benefit from the sub. You will still have the same distortion limited level. Not to mention if you can achieve a Q of 0.7 when the port is blocked.Thats true.
Well, if one plugs the Kefs ( closed box ) its gonna fall about 12 dB/oct beyond the speakers resonance frequence.
If you then invert the Kefs, you have a pure acoustical filter for the main speakers , that can be combined with a non-inverted filter for the subwoofer at 12 dB/oct LP filter.

Thats true, and thats why I had a better suggestion with an external dsp filter.Then you will not have the expected benefit from the sub. You will still have the same distortion limited level. Not to mention if you can achieve a Q of 0.7 when the port is blocked.
If the crossover frequency is within an octave or less than the speaker’s f3 the resulting slope of the high pass filter will not have the expected slope. You can compensate that using Linkwitz Transformation but thats complicated.But we talk about higher xover point not lower. So explain again pls?

Oh hell yeah!
yes they did, so pairing with the genelec monitors is basically plug and play, with the dip switches basicalaly fixed all those room issuesdoes the genelec 7040 solution also do high-pass filter for the signal going forward to speakers later, so giving a real crossover situation?
They are indeed! Had to make the room more multipurpose during lockdownare those dip bars?
Conclusions
KEF moves the bar it set with the LS50 with the Meta revision. I was not a fan of the original but they have won me over with near perfect measurements and listening test results. Make this speaker handle more dynamics in bass and I would kiss the ground it walks on. But that is not there so a notch lower for me. But really, this is an excellent speaker. No doubt about that.
I am happy to recommend the KEF LS50 Meta. Suggest pairing it with a subwoofer if you want to play loud bass though.
