I have my string heights set lower than the makers specs.....with no buzzing on any strings.....and I'm still getting some fretted notes not sounding when I play some chords and the strings are hard to press down. Ive even tuned down a tone to lower string tension but that seems to make things worse!
Suggestions/help will be gratefully accepted.

This information might be elementary for you based on what you've been stating here but this link from Archtop.com has some basic string and action recommendations and a bunch of other information as well.
