By that I mean you can choose the slope and the crossover point and sometimes the Q but they do not take into account the 'Sound Power' or total radiated energy of the speaker.
The BAX-1 on the other hand is designed with a specific speaker in mind. The Model T has different software then the Middle T and the Mini T has different software again. The reason for that is we put each of the Model T's in our anechoic chamber and we make over 300 measurements but vertically and horizontally around the speaker and adjust the software to provide as accurate as possible the best Sound Power for the specific Model T speaker.
One of the reasons PMC may not want to go with the BAX-1 is because just having generic crossover points and slopes based on their passive crossover may not be sophisticated enough given the quality of their speakers.
Hope this helps explain it a bit.

Thanks for the prompt response. I now realize the all the work involved to set parameters for different loudspeakers!
