Re: Simplest delayThe transfer function is a valid test for phase response, looking at the schematic not so much. The inductors and capacitors that make up a crossover definitely effect the phase response, and in a well designed crossover will correct it for the particular box. Besides the issue of altering the amplifier to get access to the raw signal to apply a delay, the wavelength at your crossover frequency of 2kHz is about 17cm. If the phase error is less than 90º there is good summation. A physical offset of greater than 4cm would be needed to create more than 90º of phase error.As a science project this may be a useful undertaking, there will be some learning done. As a way improve these particular speakers, buying speakers you don't feel you have to modify is probably a better (and cheaper) choice.
