Tannoy HPD12 crossovers recommendations

[F575M]

I would like to replace the crossovers in my mint Devons. MainlyTannoy offer a variety of crossovers but my budget is limited. I wonder if the VS series (with Jantzen Z Cap Superior), £495.00 is worth twice the price of the VS series (with Clarity ESA), £240.00.

How many Tannoy users on this forum have replaced their speakers' crossovers?

Cheers,

I don't like Jantzen z superior. They sound too smooth and soft to me.

What is the reason you want to change your xover resp. parts of it?

I have a pair of Devon's, my opinion is that what they need most is bigger cabinets.

They do. As well as the Devons, I also had the Cheviots utilising similar drivers and crossovers in bigger boxes and the bass limitations of the Devons was very apparent. Certainly worth a cabinet change. And this does away with the need for stands without occupying more floor space.

I found it odd that the smaller Eatons with ten inch HPDs had superior bass performance to the Devons, but they did.
