You can measure if you want. No problem.

I have. And after my experience all fullrange drivers need some compensation 🙂

But Seas Excotic and FA22 is in the smoother division.

You will have even more peace now you don't have them.

Interesting that you go up to 160 liter enclosure, deeper bass, better Impulse response 👍
