Replaced the lower-MR choke with a 12g. Solen

Original was wound with 20g. wire.

Output in the LMR drivers' passband increased 1 to 1-1/2dB. The sounds are now a tad warmer and richer, and I'm happy.

I'm still thinking about replacing the original 3rd-order HP filter to the tweeters with a 2nd-order filter better suited to the Neo-3 PDR that's in there now, but I haven't done much about it. Also, I considered replacing the internal wiring to the tweeter and MR, using all Neotec-UPOCC-solid-silver-in-Teflon wire currently on HALF-PRICE sale at Sonic Craft, but decided not to. I have a couple short lengths of triple-gage Neotec-silver wire that I used on the Super-7s that I'll be replacing the amp-to-x-over feeds.

The Avantis continue to sound better and are now about 95% likely to stay in my system.
