That is an interesting article and history lesson by Ian! Having spent time chatting with several of the speaker designers mentioned over the years, it was like a walk down memory lane!
I remember my first visit to the Axiom factory in 1990ish and subsequent visits for the 30th and 35th anniversary events and much has changed!
For those who have not been, or are simply interested, there are a number of threads on this board that detail board member visits...most with pictures!

I still find it impossible to understand how you choose what curves to implement. Like you say, you can create any recipe you want, and likely a plethora of those recipes can look good "on paper". And you can only conduct a finite number of listen tests. Feedback from the listen tests isn't high resolution enough to allow the designer to hone in on the particular characteristics of a set of curves that ought to be preserved.
This is such a different challenge from any product design I've ever worked on. Numbers have always told me the whole story. I've never had to rely on subjective feedback. I'd really like the answer to this some day.

Welcome to the magic of audio. It's not all in the numbers, but numbers matter. Go figure ... no wait, go listen.
