I've compared the MRs against the ESAs, and there is no question that the former offer a significant sonic improvement. If you can get the right values in MRs, then you've got a nice upgrade waiting there, should you wish to pursue it

Thanks Marco really interesting. Luckily I scored a spare set of crossovers (which Russ C has just wired & boxed up for me) so I'm ready to part with my existing ones for a bit ... I was in touch with Nick G yesterday and will be sending them up when some new bits arrive:

  • Decent quality connectors (the ones currently are very cheap)
  • Dave Slagle autoformers to replace the current fixed inductors


There aren't all that many caps in there so maybe the MR upgrade will be affordable ... any idea what the caps bill in total came to on yours?
