On another forum it was suggested that one could deal with mismatched woofer and tweeter impedances by connecting them to different taps on the secondary (eg woofer to 16 ohm tap and tweeter to 8 ohm tap of course with their respective crossover elements). Is that even feasible? I must admit the idea never even occurred to me.
I have a power transformer with 6V and 12V taps.
I have 6V lamps and 12V lamps.
Why can't I tap them at different taps? It does work.
The crossover is important. Tapping several full-range speakers on different taps, the math gets confusing. With decent crossovers the problem is dodged.

Nice idea. No lossy L pad required.
Properly implemented, it could be good.
But If you bring your loudspeaker over to a friends, be prepared to bring more speaker cables, you will need to use a pair of dual wire cables for each channel.
I would not use a 3 wire cable, the ground lead would be passing both woofer current, and tweeter current.
Commercially, probably most customers would not put up with this.
