Listen REAL close and see if you can tell where the crossover is.

Yes, there is a big hockey stick end to the tenor (that explains the rubber-band sound of the low tenor) and here is picture of the upper bass.

What is the reason for the extreme nasal and weak tone of the upper bass? I can see that the upper bass backscale is  quite short. There is about a one-inch-wide cantilever on the bass bridge. But what on earth accounts for SUCH a horrible crossover? Is the upper bass too close to the rim?

Wow.

Oh, older George Steck fetal grand.
