I run my touch through a pair of Dahlquist DQ-10's.
Google has some good pictures (including one showing the crossover
circuit diagram) if you google dahlquist dq10 and look at the image
results.

Drivers these days have wider frequency response. Especially the
planar/ribbon type. Crossovers are the key. Thats where the problems
are. Thats were cost cutting occurs in almost every manufacturer. I
could see adding a super tweeter. Dont mess around with splitting up
the mid range.

First question is WHY? That is way more cross-overs, driver enclosures,
and driver blending needed to cover the Human Hearing range with today's
technology.

The only 5-way speakers I can attest are Reference 9 Kappa's (with the

depends what you mean... 5 drivers in a box? or something different?
personally, 3-way is at the limit of traditional crossover design for
me and I think passive crossovers sound universally dreadful, sucking
the life out of the music.

you can go more than three way but it doesn't have to be in one box.
Many good subs are quite large so the separation can be useful.

Can be interesting , multiway speaker have advantages in power-handling
loudness and low distorsion at those levels ..
It gets even better with steep active filters
If you can get the rest to work ?

Don't think about them. Making good crossovers is an art, deep voodoo.
Making a two-way speaker's crossover is fairly easy. Doing it for a
three way is a lot harder. Ever notice that a ton of high end speakers
are only two way?
As you add
If 5-way, there is no way to do it by accident. Better forget about it.
I needed over 1 year to get my 3-way right and i still don´t know it is
maxed out. Even if they measure great.
I still wonder how the Infinity engineers in the 80s were able to get
their passive, big floorstanders going. Some
