moving the crossover outboard frees your inductors from the magnetic fields of the speakers and vice versa.
The wooden cabinets further reduce magnetic interaction. While it is not "audiophile" in appearance, the lightest, most porous wood, seems to give the best performance. I was rather surprised when I used balsa ( i had some pieces left over from model work). It had the most open top end compared to the more commonly used woods ( maple, etc.)
On the other hand, taking the experience with instrument makers ( luthiers).walnut/ oak have good bass, rosewood has a great midrange, maple: good top end. I still prefer spruce for an all 'round response. I would assume that the more plain jane woods can be dressed up with a thin inlay or purfling ( you can buy premade purfling from luthier suppliers). Just run a table saw shallow cut close to the edge the width of the purfling.
Of course YMMV and FWIW.
