...but the capacitors used in crossovers should be bi-polar. I'd recommend replacing the caps with Audyn instead of Daytons, Bennic, or Solens. Having used all of them at one time or another I've found the Audyns to be the best of the lot. Leave the inductors alone. If there any resistors replace them with non-inductive types. Mills or Lynx are good options. Use at least 10 watt resistors.As for the grill, the grill cloth can certainly have an effect, but the grill frame as well as any raised cabinet edges and even the tweeter location on the front baffle will be sources of diffraction.

when it comes to capacitors.
I also assume the Audyns you mentioned are not the copper foil or double layer 800V Audyn caps. Please let me know if I am wrong.
The resistors in the tweeter circuit are all the wirewound variety and are part of a five level high frequency attenuation.
Thanks again for your suggestions.
I was referring to the Audyn Q4 caps. Parts Express is one source, there are probably others.
