Anatomy of a budget floorstander

Why would they make the cabinet smaller when they gone to the trouble to make a floorstander?
Big, long standmounters will not be good looking and will demand special, short mounts. Loudspeaker manufacturers often makes (big) standmount loudspeakers with an "integral mount" masked as an extension of the upper enclosure, to look as a floorstander. Increased value appearance?
 
I was given a similar design pair of recent Sansuis not long ago; Long story short - the box is too small for the woofers, It performs better with only one woofer, the crossover was a waste of time, the driver connected without the xover performed well as a full ranger, but the high Q means there's still a mid-bass hump. I'll post pics if you want, but don't want to hijack your thread.

Starting point - measure the TSPs of a woofer & sim to see how well it matches the box/tuning

I once ran an old kef coda 7 without its crossover at whisper quiet levels and it had a lovely clairty to it.

Curious to see how your tweaks go skodaboy. I'm always interested to see people try to make a silk purse from a sows ear.

You could open up that lower section? Make it a holey brace? Go active? Diffraction control? Lots of fun ideas.

Sure as i had thought! crazy seeing as has been mentioned earlier the enclosure prob too small for drivers giving the pronounce mid bass hump.going to do some rough measurements -as is ,with just one driver connected and a pillows worth of stuffing!
 
Probably not very useful rough near field measurements!
