In a home theatre setup, I personally would rather have the more warm sound of an analog crossover, if for no other reason than to counteract the harshness of almost all film sound, which is almost universally done with a completely *digital* signal path!
I'm not sure adding a phase shift in the low frequencies where a subwoofer crossover occurs (with an analog crossover) counteracts harshness in the higher frequencies where harshness generally occurs.
The sound studios can tweak the sound using filters (and reverb etc). But I want to play back what the studios put on the recording, without adding filters (or reverb etc) in my listening room. But to each their own.
