I feel you need to rolloff the woofer more to reduce the peak in the passband. Not rolling it off can't be optimal. It also needs to be rolled off by 200Hz so the localization does not come into play for the side mounted woofer position. No worries, the RS100 should be fine this low.
The tweeter is a 13mm, and the 4.7uF is likely too large to make it happy. I think the 1.5mH is also too large, but being a 2.2ohm dcr it's contribution is more of a contour. Even so, it's a bit of a boat anchor on a 13mm tweeter.
My 2c,
I agree, I’ve never felt happy about leaving the bass driver playing full range with that peak up in the mid range. I plan to rework the crossover and see what comes from it.
i wondered about that my self, the orginal has it as well

I mean it seems natural to me to do it like this. Maybe it's just a result of modelling the inside chamber then adding the port afterwards.

This is the mystic "Boenicke poket". It is filled with some drops of snake oil and secret magic potion during production, which evaporates and seals the magic sound in the wood. One of the many secrets the Swiss mountain Shaman has used to sell his magic doodle boxes. It also has a physicochemical effect on customers, comming near the product. They loose any relationship to the value of money and have their ears dazed.
could also be a sort of helmholtz absorber, to dampen some resonance?I mean it seems natural to me to do it like this. Maybe it's just a result of modelling the inside chamber then adding the port afterwards.

but @Turbowatch2 's explanation does make sense if one observe Sven's fans listening to his products
