I took a peak. Its not that easy to access. If I go this route and
the more I listen the less I think I will bother....but I might check
it if I can test it easily. Hacking up my passive without drawings
isn't.

Don't sweat it, Dev already commented that he hasn't got the problem
with a 10 K pot.
Probably OK.

We have the occasional guest requiring accomodation or I end up
sleeping with the kid.

That's a little price to pay for good sound now, isn't it?
Unless the kid snores :-)

Mod is fine. It was really simple. One wire off the binding post,
one wire off the filter reattached direct to binding post. Filter
resistors are right and very well matched. I swapped filters left to
right and back, no change.

That settles it then, your problem is the room.

I wasn't making traps just using tubes cuz they're cheap and easy to
obtain, stand up easy, move easy and if I wrap and glue diffusor
panels on them they should be pretty effective. Plus the wife would
probably be more receptive to something I stand behind the speakers
than mounting on the wall Plus the Quads are a couple feet in front
of the legacy's so their face is really the back wave first
reflection. I can't mount diffusors on them.

That could work, but most likely some problems in the lower
frequencies won't be solved.
But that isn't your main problem, I think.
