Ok, I found the 1/3 octave setting, and the curves look much easier to compare. Thankfully, I still like the looks of the DX25 the best. It eliminates the original tweeter's dip at 3-4kHz, and has a nice flat response above that.
The AC25 actually looks a lot better with the 1/3 octave smoothing. My ears must not have liked the extra energy in the 10kHz region, but other than that it looks almost as good as the DX25.
The XT25 still looks very good in terms of its flatness, but again the off-axis response and lower output (and higher price!) makes it a non-contender for me. I could imagine that someone with more crossover design experience than me might be willing to adjust things for better balance with the midrange, but that adds even more to the price. . .
