I don't think AR left out an important inductor in the woofer circuit just to save money. One of the advantages to making your own drivers (which I believe AR does) is you can tailor their natural response any way you want. I'm sure AR designed the crossover and chose the crossover point to take advantage of the woofer's natural response and to minimize components. By adding an inductor where none is needed, you would change the woofer's crossover slope from 1st or 2nd order to 2nd or 3rd order. This may have the unintended result of screwing up the phase response and creating a hole in the frequency response of the system. I'd upgrade the capacitor in the tweeter section of the crossover, but leave the woofer as is. Don't change the inductor in the tweeter circuit either.The only way I know of to measure inductor values is with an inductance meter or bridge.
