OR have drivers that have overlapping responses in the crossover area as
they should.

I think the point Steve is making is that a lot of two-way enclosures
are built with drivers that leave a gap between the frequency responses
of the low and high-frequency drivers in the vicinity of the crossover
frequency. This was certainly the case with the Roland keyboard amp
that I had. The midrange was weak because there was no midrange driver
in it's 2-way speaker system. You cannot correct this kind of
deficiency by changing the crossover frequency - the only solution is to
add a midrange driver and a three-way crossover. The amp sounded good
with some keyboard patches (organ, for example) but with others (pianos
for example) it just did not sound right. :-)
