I'm basing that on the fact that when I had no inductor on them the boxyness was worse than it is now with the 1.5 inductors.
Good to hear that. Did you check with the 1.5mH+10mfd combo or the earlier 1.5+6.3 combo ?
Yes, about the attenuator, I think it must have got fried already. Better to get it replaced, at least for dependability sake.
Talking about the xover, you can not (should not) put a cap higher than 10 mfd on the HF side. Yes, you can play with the inductor value.

Another good thing will be to procure a db meter, (the standard 30-8KHz type if not more), and take a real mesurement. B'coz, even with a pair of trained ears, it still gets at times very tricky to tame down things in audio. At least one will know for sure where what is, and then adjust accordingly.
