I really only understand the basics of crossover design but I'd love to learn.
I've got my measurements in via Room EQ Wizard. I don't have a measurement microphone yet (it's on the purchase list for future funds), so I've measured with both a Rode NT-1000 (red lines) and a Josephson c42 (blue lines) in hopes that an average would come about. The Rode has better bass response while I trust the Josephson to be flatter overall.

I think that crossing over at 1.8kHz would give the best response, but that might be a bit too close to the tweeter resonance peak, so maybe at 2.1kHz where both drivers are at 14.6ohms would be smarter?
I've been fiddling with digital filters on some songs and found that the woofer with a 12db slope and the tweeter with a 24db slope is a fine sound when crossed at 1.8kHz. This is just ear testing and I haven't really dug into it that heavy (i.e. I don't really know why I chose those slopes, but they seem to work).
The one thing I do know is that the speakers have a very linear phase pattern as it is and I'm hoping to keep it that way. So from my readings I think a Bessel filter crossover is probably my best bet?

I have heard over and over again that the online calculators won't give accurate results. What method should I be using next? What's my next step?
