I suspect not, but if anyone knows, I'd love to hear their
experiences with these speakers.

Your experience is unlikely to be due to the crossovers. If a
driver/cabinet design doesn't provide low bass the crossover can't
add any.

Well, that was pretty much my point. Mr. Kruger (and others) talked
about how modern crossover design has taken these speakers from
their original poor reputation and made them acceptable sounding. My
point was if those modifications didn't fix the bass, then there was
little to recommend going to the trouble of retrofitting new
crossovers as they can't fix one of the 4300 series most fundamental
problems.

If you want church organ bass from the lowest pipe on the organ it is a
different 4300 series box you need, namely the 4333 or something with a LE14
in 3 cubic feet it. What the 431x will give you is the lowest note on the
bass guitar.

Don't blame the tool if you use the wrong tool, blame the operator for not
checking what the tool is designed to do.

Kind regards
