I’lll put in my thought on that …. Having the DSP altering the signal to the front would allow them to fine tune the curves better. They could do that by just modifying the signal going to a M100 crossover or modify the crossover (most probable reason would be to get better efficiency) and let the DSP the main lifting. In my mind it, with out more data, we just don’t know.

The other question is what is the DSP doing to the front signal to make it OMNI-Directional? If only linearizes the curves to a M100 crossover and doesn’t modify anything for the OMNI part then driving the front LFR without it is fine.
