Depends on the application. A slight rising response can be useful in a lightly damped large reflex box or backloaded full range horn. Lowthers being an example.
Use of the filter is optional with the L Caos. Some reviews say it's not required or suggest a milder type.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Has anybody here tried the Audio Nirvana drivers ?

Not owned but listened to ANirvana's quite a bit.
IMO (And general consensus) is that their 8" driver is their Best sounding/working speaker.
Like all Full rangers.. Lows and Highs are constrained.. But their 8's exhibit the least of this.
Quite nice/pleasing sounds drivers actually. One can do far worse.

The best ones I have had in house, are Fertin field coil drivers FLB20EX (now the LB8EX mark ii), AER single drivers with whizzers, and more recently, 12" Isophon Orchesters (2 pairs, alnico drivers, single capacitor crossover)- for which I may finally get some original cabinets built (reflex, about 280+ litres):
I think you can still get these in Europe. In fact, I'm fairly sure NOS items were available in Spain just a few years ago. Like others here, I am a fan of vintage German drivers.
Lovely....

There's a pair of 12" orchesters on eBay at the moment but they don't look the same...
