From your original post and the graphs you posted I assumed that was your argument regarding how those speakers were better than Axioms. Why did you post response curves in your initial argument? Colour me confused .

Regarding more expensive crossover parts, unless you are changing values/redesigning the crossover this will impact loudspeaker performance. Swapping out the crossover for more expensive parts would be personally the last thing I would do to improve a commercial loudspeaker.You would be raising costs with no improvement in sound quality. It will improve the internal looks (which you don't see). I would look towards the cabinet first (resonance) in commercial loudspeakers which have an audible/measurable impact on sound quality.
