So is the Behringer stuff. What you are seeing is the consumer electronics

Is that an acceptable reason for them to intentionally withold schematics ?

Sure. It's financially not worth the trouble for them to distribute them.
They are in business to make money, and the way you make money selling
consumer products is to cut your costs to the bone and make your product as
general as possible so you can sell it in as many different places and ways
as possible.

There's a BIG difference. Very little in an mp3 player or cellphone is serviceable. As you
clearly understand that's not true of a simple crossover.

People don't service consumer products any more, even easily serviced ones.
People throw out TV sets because the plug is damaged. I don't like it either,
but it's the world we're in. You're talking about products with a two year
expected lifetime; repair infrastructure is not part of the business plan.
