If after cleaning the L Pads and recapping the crossovers one still sounds slightly louder than the other, try putting the right speaker where the left one is now and vice versa and see what that does.....
Interesting that you mention that. I did exactly that when I noticed the right speaker was a tad louder. I switched them and now they sound perfectly balanced. FWIW, they are 10' apart, 10' from my head and I sit smack in the middle.
I'll let you know what happens when I replace the caps.
