hello, I am totally ignorant of the building and functions of a crossover network.
having said that, I have a question- what would happen if I changed out the E types crossover in my klipsch heresy`s to AA or B type crossovers?

Some good experiments maybe, but not guaranteed to give satisfactory results. Using another speakers' crossover would be like trying to wear someone elses prescription eyeglasses. Still, this doesn't mean you can't make improvements to a crossover, as long as you do it right.
The port is likely to change the bass response, but it isn't clear whether that woofer and that volume of box are a good combination to use with a port.

thank you, so the size of the cabinet is part of the formula for what the crossover is designed for? example- the cornwall uses similar `speakers` as the LaScala (with the folded cabinet } what is different about the crossovers when they are so different?
many thanks.
many thanks.
So they're similar, I see. The cabinet does have some effect, also the drivers in various ways, possibly the combination, also personal preferences and cost.
Lots of variations, but the point remains that these are unique to a design. Ok, maybe you would prefer the sound of a different already built crossover, but it would be blind luck if you did.

so the design of the cabinet more determines the sound output than the crossover network? like the cornwall vs the LaScala sound?..
That's not what I meant. What If I posted you my coat. Would it fit? That would come down to luck.
To answer your first question, it is a trick one to answer because both are fundamental but in different ways. Also note that the horns are a part of the cabinet. The horn walls are like the front baffle, they guide the sound.

They control the electrical signal going to each part. They allow the highs and lows to be shared. They consider the way the drivers are, compared to how they should be.
