I was using a set of SEAS Froy3 speakers and added a pair of 18" woofers crossed passively about 85 Hz designed by the SEAS designer(a friend) and the improvement in openness , detail and clarity was overtly noticeable even thoughthe Froy3 was already very good. Of course being designed by the Froy3 designer the crossover between the speakers and woofers was custom designed for just this case.
I do understand the lack of a high pass when the high pass is generic and not a special design for the speakers and woofer. It's easier to integrate without the high pass but you pay a price for this flexibility.
