In my experience pre-ringing is fairly subjective, and it’s audibility can depending on frequency range and listening ability. Some people claim to hear pre-ringing more clearly over headphones than through loudspeakers.
The linear-phase brick-wall crossovers in some commercial speaker processors, and available in our software, have visible pre-ringing but are generally considered inaudible.
Regarding your design, if you’re concerned, try setting up a blind listening test both with your loudspeakers and maybe over good quality headphones.
