Those sims presuppose that your speakers' measured response is close to the original published ones, which is highly unlikely. After all this time, it would be surprising if your Golds even measured the same with respect to each other.

Under certain circumstances, it may actually be advantageous to tune each cabinet to a slightly different frequency, on the theory that by spreading out the resonance, the speakers will be less likely to excite room modes, resulting a smoother response.

You can also try closing up both ports to create sealed systems, or what in those benighted times we referred to as infinite baffles. In the Olden Days, many Tannoy enthusiasts, especially those with a preference for symphony and opera, preferred sealed cabinets. Closing the ports will raise the system resonance, but the rolloff will be more gradual, and the bass will be tighter, and possibly more natural. All it would take to try it is two pieces of scrap lumber.
