I'm not sure f the figure for the 3.6 is correct, given the fact that it's so much lower than the other specs. Did you get it off the historical table on this sie? that has some errors in it.
I do remember reading Jim Winey saying years ago that they'd tried running the ribbon at lower frequencies and had settled on the crossover they currently used for reasons of reliability. So I agree that 3000 Hz is a good starting point.
BTW, I've thought of doing what you did with the mid and tweeter in my IVa's. The closer the better an in my house they don't need the wider separation that Magnepan puts in their commercial models to maintain structural strength. But where would I ever find the time! Another project for the future (sigh).
