That is a really smart use of the maggie with boundary reinforcement. You can get the same effect if your sidewalls are in sufficient proximity to the listening position or speakers. If you want to extend bass dynamics further and possibly win more extension try stuffing the gap between the frame and the floor with something to stop the dipole cancellation at that end of the speaker.

The ribbon tweeter on the 3.5 is likely far better than the Diva boxes in its range of 2.5-3 khz and up. You can place the tweeter in a narrow frame and put it in front of the speaker and crossover it to the speaker with a line level XO, probably best to do it at 3.5 khz with a line level LR2 passive network. You just need to have a preamp with greater than 5V output. And an additional low power amp stable into 3 ohms. 20 watts class A should be plenty and give you the cleanest treble you have heard.
