Well I’ve never seen such big caps on a speaker crossover…

I recently did the crossovers on my crusaders and I was amazed at the size of some of them. I replaced exiting ones with clarity caps and cement resistors with mills wire wounds. Real noticeable improvement.
Did you do this yourself? I was given advise to place some of the coils on their side but never got round to doing it.

Why do you need to replace the inductor coild on there side? What benefits does this reap?

Think I read something similar recently (but can't remember the exact details wrt placement, direction etc) might have been related to the induced magnetic field being in the same plane as (or was it perpendicular to, thinking of that 3 finger EMF thing) the PCB traces.
I think the idea is to orientate adjacent inductors at 90 degrees to each other where possible. I've not seen any studies showing if there really are benefits and I'm far too lazy to look for any!
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Just try to avoid making a transformer with them.
No I didn’t make them , they were in the Atkinson Sota speakers.

OK, makes sense. Anyone ever tried it and heard a difference?
