Much of the frustration IME came from playing with guages (I gave up on playing with different matls and used single core copper, twisted of course): thinner wire for the tweet--> better hi-frequency BUT also increased resistance... so, there goes my xover point (& amplitude & power response patterns). The differences are slight mind you, but in the tweet's case for example, 1 measured 1db down in amplitude response. Fortunately, I had a L-pad on the tweet that, amazingly, helped out beautifully.
Cheers
experiment(...) with different wire types, gauges and configurations to optimize the sonicsActually that can as much fun as it is frustrating:) As you are very thorough, patient and persistant, I don't doubt you'll get optimum results.
