I'm guessing not just second harmonic from the subs, but the fact that even a 24 dB/octave crossover allows significant higher frequency energy through. That's based mostly on studies that find that people can't localize sound below 80-100 Hz in listening rooms. Of course, it's always possible that you or our room and setup are outliers . . .
Anyway, I see your problem. Wouldn't the sub's crossover do less violence to the sound than the subs themselves? I'd want to cross the subs over as low as possible to get the extension and SPL I was after without too much smearing.
