I'll send plans, at least for the current version. I don't have the old plans handy, but you'll want to update the crossovers anyway.

Glad you found the mis-connected woofer. I'm surprised I never heard about that from the original owner. I don't know if they were kits that were assembled wrong or not, but whatever the case, those speakers should sound extremely coherent, not only on-axis but over a wide arc of positions, pretty much throughout the room. That's one of the main things they excel at.

Bass isn't extremely extended, none of them are tuned to be subs, they're tuned to be midwoofers. Since you need the woofer to be used as a midrange, you don't really want it pumping sound at 20Hz. I suggest adding subs, because then you gain extension and smooth room modes at the same time.
