Yes you can't really fix those things if you try you get other colorations instead and no chance of proper rendering if the recording allows it . cool speaker seems to function over form despite thier futuristic appearance those straight transmission lines seems close to ideal for the breed :) And aluminium drivers migth not be a big problem in a narrow bandwith active xover design, use the drivers in the range where they perform well . Speaker cables would be even less of a problem in an active design and they could be compensated for in the filter and probably is. I really would like to hear those speaker one day !
