Yes i agree Profiguy. That's why I'm interested in trying a 4 way with two ne149's between the sb34 and d7608.
I'm halfway through making some test cabnets for this.
I'm impressed how good this current compromised 3 way sounds.

I use NE123W08 and NE225W08. I really have no complaints about the build quality or the sound. The only thing I fear is that the NEO magnet will not corrode over time. I hope they are well galvanized.
Here's an impedance measurement of both domes in an enclosure that Profiguy designed, I think it's around .35L? it's a perfect fit onto the magnet!
The above is fully stuffed(not tight) with rockwool and that's how I'm currently using them. The one below is one dome either full stuffed or half stuffed. Not sure what option would be better really. I could test more options.
Blue is half stuffed.

Here's something you could try. Add padding resistors to the tweeter. Off the top of my head, I'd suggest 10 ohms in parallel with the tweeter, and 2 ohms in series before the 10 ohm. This will smooth out the impedance. It helps with some tweeters and passive x-overs. I'm speculating that it might work in an active as well.
