Why?
What, other than phase through the crossover, is effected by time alignment of the drivers?
In the Goldmund the tweeter and bass unit of the main speaker are offset by the difference at the speed of sound in air at the crossover frequency.
This is probably sensiblish, but since the 2 units share output over a reasonable frequency range it would be "wrong" for most of the overlap (if it mattered).
The main unit is adjustable on the bass box by a huge amount but probably pointless since at the crossover frequency the wavelength is huge, and adjustment could only have a negligible effect.
