The experts are all quite right of course. To the layman, the selection of a crossover point would seem to depend on a bewildering number of factors.
The ancient 'rule of thumb' is that the crossover frequency should lie somewhere between the lower range of the tweeter (2,500 Hz) and the upper range of the midwoofer (3,500 Hz).
If your ears tell you that a crossover point of around 1700 Hz results in, as you say, "making the voices more present", then at least you won't damage your tweeter by using the crossover configuration that you have described.

The stronger "presence" may as well be to much and anoying with longer listening. Some louder region may spontaneously be more exiting, but too much over time and with different program material.
To make it clear, if you put a tweeter and woofer in a speaker cabinet, they change their behavior. How they change, theoretically can be simulated, but only if you have very precise data to start. It is much better to use your own measurements, so you can see what changes any modification will cause.
If you don't have data, one can not comment on the values of crossover parts. You can only deciper what the parts do (like here a 3rd order with some frequency bending components). The result may be good or completely off, no one can comment on this.
From the paper form of both drivers, the higher crossover should be "more right", but it depends on the planed use and, again, other data.
So in the end we are just where we started...
