Wilson's advice on crossover and slope was not optimal, but it was close enough that I could get very good sound with a bit of experimentation up and down. But those last few steps to nirvana--with adjustments across multiple parameters--were more than I could do myself in the time I had during the demo.

Ha! Yep, I hear ya. Getting the adjustment right across multiple parameters can be challenging.
This is why I did a DOE (Design of Experiments) using a NIST-traceable calibrated mic to integrate my REL to my system.
Nothin' like havin' an R-Square, R-Square Adj., F-statistic and p-value to know I'm heading in the right direction. 
Interesting response surface at 155 Hz with respect to the Sub XO*Sub Gain interaction.
