My work ToDo list has grown so long I may never get around to experimenting with crossover components on my 1.7s. If I were going to experiment I would prefer to know in advance how to measure an audible difference for example lower distortion or a smoother frequency response curve in REW. If it is possible to measure an audible change and I lack the tools to measure I can still hear the audible change I just can't prove I heard it. So my assertion that an audible change occurred would be objective even if false because it can be proven or disproven by someone with the appropriate tools.
I found a couple of relevant articles that suggest changing components may be audible in some cases but they don't provide any before and after tests:

Perhaps understood by all but: the statement that coating my speaker cables with mustard smooths the frequency response of mid base is objective because it can be proven false. The statement that coating my speaker cables with mustard induces inner harmony is subjective because it cannot be proven or disproven.
On the other hand I may not know what I am doing with REW :|.
