Regarding CS2.4 resistors. As I've mentioned, I have identified thermal dissipation and stability as worthy of attention. Doubling in parallel is a good way to do that.

However that 16 ohm resistor does not need a higher value, being in series with a capacitor that blocks low frequency current flow.

Resistors that are worthy of attention include: Woofer R1 - 4 ohm, and R2 - 2 ohm.

Coax R5 - 30 ohm, and R6- 3 ohm. Those high-current resistors are most worthy of Mills (etc.) upgrade since current flow induces noise and heat induces instability.

16 ohm 10w resistor on 2.4 coax crossover:

Mills MRA12 8 ohm purchased for 2.4 upgrade.  Also have the 2, 3, 4 and 30 ohm resistors.

What my production coax crossover looked like before installing SE upgrade kit from Rob G.

Didn't find much more constructive information on the GR Electra tube connectors beyond a few reviews and GR literature.  Ran across a Smiths Connector with "Hyperboloid Contact Technology" that has similarities to the Electra tube. Just had a quick glance and didn't know whether it would be even close to applicable here. Female side was gold plated brass and male side Tellurium copper with crimp.
