    Having heard and sold the MC2s, I would tend to agree with everyone that gives a nowt special alert.

    Assuming they are two way. You could try an active crossover between the pre-amp and power amps and do away with the internal crossover in the speakers, just leaving a single series capacitor in line with the tweeter as protection against LF intrusion.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Yes 2 way, but I use my AVR as a DAC - AMP which the front channels can be biamped. Breaking my heart having these channels going unused !

    Not difficult if you know what you're doing... probably quite difficult if you have to ask how to do it! A waste of time all round though.

    Indeed yes. It could probably be done for as little as £4000 and 2 months work as well!

    Or eighty quid from ebay. Plenty of active crossovers there.

    Surely it can't be that tricky to separate the tweeters ? But putting my ears up to the cones these speakers are a 3 way design

    And it will sound utter shite! Any crossover must be designed specifically for the speaker it is being used in, therefore each one is a separate design exercise with all the experimenting, measuring and listening involved. Hence the £4K (if you are paying an engineer to do it for you) and 2 months work... to do the job properly.
