You can use the prePEQ for setting the overall tone to your liking. I asume that you are bi-amping, you can still bi-amp the speakers with the 260 together with the passive x-over. My opinion, you are messing with the wrong speakers, a speaker that is allready tuned to perform the best. If you wan't to go with "true" bi-amping system then choose a speaker that dosen't have any passive x-overs, like the M2 or any other PA system.
I don't know how you are measureing to come to any conclusion for the best settings. If you are measurening in your room, then I say, good luck with that. You have to measure either in anechoic chamber or outdoor to set the x-over point and so on.
About your SPL curve and closed box, it has nothing to do with your speakers, it is all room dependent. You still don't know if the room modes is playing tricks for you here. This has to be measurerd (acoustic room measurement) and confirmed and treated before mixing with speakers x-over, closed-open bassports or bi-amping.
My 4429 has no dark sound.
I will hold my breath for the moment and see what you come up with.:)
