WiiM Ultra with Integrated Amp

It's a Wharfedale SW-150, I don't think it does. Tbh I haven't checked....

I had the same sub. Correct it doesn't have a bypass setting, max is 85hz.

Yep it's pretty basic. Sonically works OK for me, though it doesn't have much of a volume headroom, but I'm not trying to break the walls in my house. However, I will re-run the RC but with the sub off as there may be some crossover effects contaminating the measurements.

I wonder who came up with that design decision.

With an acclaimed frequency response of 35Hz to 110Hz (no level specified, could be -3 dB, -10 dB or just anything) a range of crossover frequencies between 35 Hz and 85 Hz and no LFE is pretty ridiculous.

But as long as it works well enough ...

It's cheap. So probably someone with a very limited budget for someone with a limited budget / system. Mine works fine for me.

It's a bit cheesy: On one hand they advertise having implemented different discrete circuits for different crossover frequencies and the knob is just switching between them. Definitely more expensive to do and more linear than using a potentiometer to change just an R value in one circuit. But on the other hand the frequcies are chosen so poorly it makes you scratch your head.
