I need to get use to your writing style, but you are worth deciphering. Most time I am only guessing at what you are trying to say.
With the implementation of the Au transformer, we can do away with the Soundlab cross-over entirely. This makes the current PX model probably more efficient than your beloved CLX.
As for the mixer cap eating away efficiency, I am not sure how the 0.015uF cap in series with the secondary high frequency transformer can eat away 3-4dB in your thinking. I doubt this, but I am not a trained electrical or electronic expert, so I will listen to your explanation.
Seeing that you have a vast knowledge on ELS and electronics, what are the consequences in removing the mixer altogether? What if I just hook up the two transformers together in parallel to drive one full range panel. What are we up against? Can we design transformers that can handle this?
I know there would be a lot of cross talk, but at lowish volume, it must sound quite exquisite. What sort of damage am I risking?
