What speakers use a "minimal" crossover?


I understand the negative effects in the inneficiency of most traditional passive crossover designs, in that they most often limit the control the amp has over the drivers, limiting dynamics. However, I used to have a pair of Sonus Electa Amotors (original version), that apparantly used a very simple, minimalist, first order crossover design...a resistor or capasitor or something, not much more. The results I remembered where a much more dynamic speaker design, all things considered. (much more dynamic than my old Thiel 2.3's throughout).
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with other speakers out there that use a relatively simple crossover like the old Sonus Fabers?
I seem to remember reading that the Triangle Titus's use a simple order crossover. Anything else anyone knows of?
I know there are other ways to increase efficiency in speaker designs, but there are often compromises one way or other. And I always consider options.

Here's a few more to add to your list.
Brentworth Sound Lab. I like this companie's thinking. This sure resembles the design theory behind my current speakers.

Royal Devices loudspeakers This company doesn't use crossovers on the woofers of their speakers. They look great..I wonder if they sound as good as they look.

Audio Note Loudspeakers. Looks like very simple crossovers to none at all used in these speakers.
