It is not a short. It is a 2nd order parallel filter on the mid and bass, instead of the easy to imagine series crossover. Admittedly, I like the sound but some people do not get on with the Heybrook Sextet. The tweeter coudl do with an lpad
I would be very interested in your opinion in a standard series crossover. This was a Peter Comeau design afterall

This is a nightmare. planet10 is in a complete muddle what the circuit is. So are you, it seems. 
It is a first order series filter on bass and mid based on what you have told me.
The mid is quite your regular 8 ohm 5". Natural rolloff around 3kHz. The filter runs it almost full range.
The 6" bass is awkward at 4 ohms.
Also awkward to replace with 8 ohms at 170mm. SEAS make them at 176mm these days.
I'm not sure what I would do to it. Going to end up a 4ohm load. As it is, it's very shallow 6dB slopes.
Maybe best left alone. How does it sound?
