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.
