Question on Baffle shape and wofer configuration

Hi Robert and others,

I have been enjoying my Prometheus MKI kit set for more than 3 years. It is still siting on the prototype baffle/woofer cabinet constructed in accordance with the instruction manual but using glimsy/low quality plywood without finishing.

It is time to upgrade the baffle and woofer enclosure but I have the following questions on the choice in baffle size/shape & woofer configuration.
1. Is there any advantages using a round baffle(like the one for the Apollo) over the rectangular baffle shown in the manual for the fullrange unit? Any plane/dimension for the round baffle?
2. Is separating the bass unit from the main baffle has sonic advantages.
3. I intend to use a slighlightly wider baffle (380mm width. Is it O.K.
4. Is it worthy to upgrade the capacitor for the tweeter? Intend to use either Jupiter or Mundorf supreme for both the 1u cap and the small bypass cap.

Thanks
