Very interesting, I wonder if Audio Note have the same approach to matching, or whether drivers are better matched these days... I know Amphion send a lot of units back to their suppliers as they don't meet their tolerances.

I don't know what tolerances AN apply or how they apply them. But they've moved a long way from what Snell were doing and still seem to have many happy owners. Maybe their greater SET friendliness helps?
l have Audionote ANJ/D's here and recently in the summer had a home dem of the very latest ANJ/LX and they do sound quite different, with the latter sounding quite amazing sometimes..........
FWIW I recently purchased another pair of JPW AP3's to "do up" so thought I'd take this oppertunity to open them up & draw the crossover...

No cap across the LF?
Just seemed unusual having 1st order on the bass & 2nd on the hf. They'd pretty much stopped doing those models by the time I went there in 1996.
What's the purpose of having an inductor on the tweeter?
Makes the high pass filter steeper, 2nd Order, 12 dB per Octave.
