Honestly, if worse comes to worse, I could add a subwoofer to the system..........

........there is a range of frequencies that when a voice or instrument fall in that range, the beaming is like the phaser on the Enterprise.

Actually, for my own curiosity, would a passive radiator mounted in the bottom of the cabinet be an option? Or how about an active driver?
You're welcome!

Which can be caused by a leaky cab rolling off all the bass.........

Well, I'm not there and for sure if there's a hump in the horn's response it can sure sound this way, but I find it hard to believe that this would occur with JM's XO assuming it has the adjustable pots to dial it in.

PRs have a compliance measured in the hundreds of liters, so they can only be vertically oriented, same as most Altec drivers, including the 416.

Adding a driver to a given cab effectively reduces the air mass spring each driver feels, so F3 goes up and Fb normally must go down to keep it from sounding 'boomy'. In short, it will have ~ a half octave less bass response.
