JBen, I am a big fan of the chokes and I also understand the benefits of using a cap/resistor in parallel to the tweeter. The attenuation of the inductor does extend into the audible but is negligible (about 0.4 db at 20 kHz and 0.1 db at 10 kHz). My setup is definitely not flat to 0.4db :). This is not to say that there is no audible difference with and without the chokes, it is just that those differences are not due to 1st order attentuation of the signal.
I am not sure why you are getting benefit from the chokes on your woofers as these already have a LP filter but if it works for you that's great.
I don't think there is any need to bring up Davey's personal quirks, as it were, into the discussion. I have learned a lot from Davey (as I did from Al) and I listen to the meat and leave the gravy on the side.
P.S. I thought you were on supervised leave from the Asylum :).
