What was wrong was that I do not have a proper evaluation method/ability of Sound and piled up my system around the Reps driver with an intention to overcome the obvious shortcomings under the way I've been listening to jazz.  The result was what we Japanese call "Kamaboko" (mid-rangey) sound with shelved down top and bottom and dynamically challenged (in my application) Reps driver in its center.  There were also phase anormalies that you checked.  All these, causing compression, coloration and imaging anomaly.  We (you) fixed it by extending the energy balance more to both frequency extremes and correcting the phase as much as possible (12db to 6db) by manipulation of crossover point and attenuation settings, and replaced the Reps driver with more dynamically linear and less colored LE-8T (2115).  The flatter ("proper" in your words) and extended energy balance is responsible for the overall increased dynamic capacity, and the corrected phase and replaced mid-range driver are responsible for the dynamic linearity, proper imaging and less coloration.
I do not know where it all might be going but I disagree with what you are saying.
