Nice, Andre! I use something similar on my Copper amp, but they cost a damn sight more
They're a bit of a bargain - where did ya blag 'em from?

They have a lot of potential since the crossover (HF Filter) consists of just two components..I never listern to speakers these days, just headphones so there kinda background musik if i do.I recon these & the Sondex amp will sound quite ok.
