Haven't built enough speakers to have real world experience in this area. But wondering, would a tweeter's ability to deal with first order also be depended on its sentitivity compared to the woofer?

For example, it pretty common for tweeters to have 10dBs over the woofer. Put an L-Pad in to match SPL levels, and the tweeter only receives 10% of power. So, while the woofer might be getting 50W to 100W, the tweeter only receives 5W to 10W.
