Achieving the requisite phase angles at crossover and differing delays requires multiple additional boxes (2x Velo SMS-1s in my case...) to achieve what should be achievable with our high-end pre-pro alone.

There are two papers, one by Todd Welti, and the other by Floyd Toole. In both papers the discussion is about a mono signal being distributed among N number of transducers. So whether you use a splitter or you have outputs from the processor is largely irrelevant as the output still needs to be a mono signal.

It's a very important point. As soon as you start dealing with signals that are no longer mono it is a different ball game.
