Your advice to speakers designers

@inna, "So, what kind of questions should I ask a speaker designer to see if he has a good idea of crossovers and their implementation?"

How comfortable do you feel with the different strategies / topologies that exist?

@douglas_schroeder , "As a reviewer my advice to manufacturers; ignore 99% of this thread and carry on."

Kudos for holding on to the crown for routinely submitting the most pompous and condescending posts any participant!

There's a lack of choice in the omni and coaxial schools of speaker design right now. You know the types of speakers which can address a large sweet spot. We don't all want to sit still listening and if we do time is precious.

Plenty of room out there for 'activity accomodating' speakers which are ambivalent to the listeners moving around the room, standing up, sitting on the floor, etc. There are enough multi-system audiophiles out there to account for selling speakers with a different use case vs simple preferences.

I can't be the only one using a single driver speaker because my listening room doubles as many other things and I appreciate the point source behavior. My music however doesn't play well with the limited bandwidth.

I feel comfortable with any design that sounds good to my ear and can fit in the medium size room.

I rarely just sit down and listen, but usual speakers do just fine for me, though I suppose omni would do better in this respect.
