Well - keeping it simple with that crossover I guess. 2nd order on both drivers. Series resistor n cap and parallel coil and resistor on the tweeter; series coil and parallel cap on the woofer - am I reading that right?
 
Does not look bad. Maybe deserves blind testing... Blind meaning give It a listen without knowing about the measurements...:p
 
Still mulling over the cable speed issue. Maybe there should be an industry rating standard like for tires (temp/traction/speed)? But how do "fast" cables handle slow tempos?

Maybe that's why you need to tri-wire them for the best all round sound?! One fast pair of cables, one medium speed pair and a slow pair. That should cover most music tempos! ;)

Edit: BTW I used to believe in biwiring before I found ASR. Some of my speakers still are biwired as I've had no reason to change them. Maybe I need to change them for some with the correct speed rating for my preferred styles of music?!! :facepalm:

I'm having a bad flashback to Monster Cable's marketing of their "time compensated" windings.

What the heck is going on at 4kHz? I was taught very early on that peaks are far more audible in a nasty way than subtle dips and this one couldn't have been at a worse place, where the ear is most sensitive to such things!

I wonder if the bass unit is run wide open and the tweeter has little more than a cap feeding it to stop low frequencies blowing it?
certainly looks like it. seems to be nasty resonance/breakup mode
