Somehow I massacered the formatting of the last reply.
The past days I was listening to the speakers in every imaginable configuration. Sometimes I based my changes on "accepted theory" of crossovers and math, other times I just made changes in component values to gain a feeling of how I can affect the sound.
The version I always came back to, and am listening to now, is bare bones: nothing on the upper bass, 5uf cap on the mid range, 1uf cap on the tweeter, and 4th order low-pass on the sub.
Yes, it is too bright. But not unlistenable. It's kind of like moving up 15 rows at the symphony. More importantly, there's a "cleanness" to the sound. It is pure and uncorrupted and more free. I like it.
So, the challange seems to be balancing the result, while minimizing the pollution from the components.
