I think the Heil replacement is actually a dynamic instead of the original 
crystal.  I seem to recall seeing some specs on it, and it pretty well cuts 
everything off below about 300~.  The original Astatic xtal element responds 
down to 100~ or below, if you work it into a 5-10 megohm load.

If Bob Heil got enough requests, he might be willing to custom make one with 
good  low frequency response while keeping the characteristic D-104 
acoustical presence rise.
