'What means "a right midrange" is still not clear to me.'

But then, is not the proper place to start, a definition of what the midrange is?
The musical midrange is when you sit at a full-sized piano keyboard, in the middle, and you put both your hands out at the one-third points. Left of the left hand is Bass; right of the right hand is Treble, and in between the hands is Musical Midrange.
But as I tried to show by my example, when audio people talk about midrange they often seem to mean Musical Treble. The notes that violinist plays at the beginning of that YT are all ABOVE the treble staff, but most audio people seem to think that midrange extends up above 1,000 Hz.
However you define "midrange," it is very important to a loudspeaker's success. I think that a total absence of audible distortion in the midrange is so imporantant that that goes without saying, as it has here.
My personal belief is that phase coherence in the region where the woofer-mid or midrange and the tweeter overlap is the most important characteristic. So, a slightly lumpy frequency response with better behavior in the time domain is OK with me.
I have a speaker here I am about to write up where the woofer-mid to tweeter crossover is 5,000 Hz! That's one way to skin the cat!
