Resistor inline vs series notch for tweeter. Sound quality and protection?

No they aren’t. Some of them are shunts to ground.
Call it ground if you like. From a electrical standpoint ground is the wrong terminology to begin with many places.
What's referred to as ground here is normally called protective earth in the US.
That is where some of the discrepancy comes from i guess.

No they aren’t, they are a combination of series and parallel elements,
Notice what was written:
The NOTCHES are ->Connected <- in parallel.

The word is ‘sinusoidal’,
Thank you, I am sure the grammar police will fine me.

and AC doesn’t have positive and negative terminals.
notice -> ' ' and ' ', and a transducer commonly has that in form of it's physically marked terminals.

Yes, i just spent my evening, calculating/verifying, and setting up overload, short-circuit protection, Arc flash sensors, Modbus TCP network config, integration into a 800xa plc, setting up the analyzer, and checking the harmonic content etc. On a couple of ABB Tmax 800 Amp/400V breakers, and racked them for the first time for a new MCC.
Thank you for educating me on how Alternating Current works this was truly enlightening :worship:

so they aren’t in series with the signal.
Rightly so, but these series elements are considered in the signal path because they alter the voltage and current the driver sees, and therefore have the potential to impose certain distortions on the signal.

Shunt elements will also do that, with voltage and current the other way around or somewhere in between, so they are in the signal path too.

It's not like passing water through a pipe where it may be contaminated with rust, vs a rusty bypass line that won't cause that issue. In this case voltage and current go together like series and shunt do, to stretch a point 😉
