I mean no "named crossover", you can always use PEQ for that:

Well it's always a PEQ then. There's no difference. You manipulate the signal level with frequency on the electrical side, it doesn't matter how you call it.
How can I know?
What else do you have for bass boost than a shelf filter?It's the total transfer function on the acoustic side that matters, not how it's constructed, or what's the driver alone and what's the electric part (as long as everything is used safely below its limits).
With IIR the individual slopes affect also the radiation pattern. Although you can change back and forth between different filter settings, you also change the amplitude response off axis. Hard to say then what do you actually hear.
- You can always add an additional all-pass phase response though (i.e. more of excess phase), to any system, even with IIR. Then you can compare the phase response alone.

Hello,
the shelf filter approach in my understanding is about the limitation of the cut-off function that is to counteract woofer over-excursion. Wheras the traditional HP filter would create rising GD towards the low frequencies, the shelf filter is a localized cut-off which only increases GD in a smaller area of the passband.
OSSE in an enclosure, intended as multiple-entry-horn designed to hand off to separate low frequency enclosures in home environment. Configuration file attached in Zip. Enclosure is 260mm x 260mm x 240mm (HxWxD). I designed the OSSE for an enclosure I already have built so restricted in that regard. I'd do it differently if designing from scratch. I suspect, but don't know, it would reach as low as ~280Hz with MEH using two (or one?) B&C 4NDF34.
All criticisms welcome because I still don't understand directivity and directivity matching with enclosures: Is this too beamy? Too narrow? Should I flatten DI above 5kHz where MEH ports start harming the polars? Would you even bother building something like this or is it a waste of time?

Oh btw, that's simulated with FRDs exported after generating in ABEC. Which is why I was thinking FRDs might be more valuable than the configuration file for 3D prints. The effects of the enclosure on the OSSE was a beast to simulate. If you lack computer power (large multi core) the config file won't do what you really want. At least that's my intuition.
Honestly, I don't know a verdict. It kind of narrows but it's still far from a disaster, IMO. It's up to you to try and decide.
The multi-entry setup may bring some advantages that will outweight, I really don't know, but I tend to like it more than dislike

I don't think there's a right or wrong, just your personal preference. I personally like a narrower dispersion. Smooth handover between drivers is more important to me.
I found Erin at Erin's audio corner on YouTube the most insightful for explaining this as he compares spin data from his Klippel and his listening impressions.
I say build it and see if you like it!

I've checked desmos and literally every shape is possible. Thank you very much.
It is not completely clear yet (at least for me), how to implement it in Ath script.
Any advise is welcomed.
