Floyd Toole would be appalled at the excess of bandwidth attempted by the 5" midrange. Fortunately, you don't find that overt fkup with current designs like the LSR6332. It cuts off the same size driver a full octave lower.
The 4310/4311 series imaging is comic book - wide at the bottom and top and decidedly pinched in the upper midrange where the piston diameter is significantly larger than the wavelength it attempts to reproduce.

The kind of distortion you are describing is the kind Bob Carver specifically designed to diminish with his new Amazing Loudspeakers. Read the review in TAS by Robert E. Green to an excellent description.
Which is one reason why I've favored and used full range electrostats for nearly forty years. And confess that I've never been fan of hybrid monopole woofer / dipolar planar or electrostatic based systems to avoid discontinuity experienced elsewhere.
One pebble in the pond. :)
