Yes, the cap before the driver will add a 6dB/oct slope at low frequencies. But the active crossover provides attenuation only of incoming signals. A problem generated in the crossover itself or in the amp (a defect or simply a transient due to plugging or unplugging wires, or a switch on or off transient) will be attenuated by the series cap only. It should be safe, but, considering the price of replacement diaphragms, I would go for an added protection (a relay muting and dc protection for instance). Low power transformer coupled tube amps are great also for the peace of mind they give (a problem could be HT ending up in the output transformer secondary but I have never heard of that).
I belong to the school which prefers large horns to round tractrixes or similar profiles (e.g. JMLC) and use the EV HR9040As at this time.
