They certainly are... but to be blunt the stock crossovers are complete & utter tripe of the lowest quality. I cant even begin to imagine how good they would be with new hardwired crossovers using quality modern parts

I mapped the crossover for future reference

Hi James
I have a pair, i nearly fell through the floor when i saw the crossover i think i mentioned this a while back tho..

Aye I cant understand what they were thinking even compared to a crossover from the most basic Kef model of the same time they are just laughable !

I used to have a pair of "AR94's" which I thought were quite good at the time, these should be even better http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/A-R92-ACOU...item2ec83d0307

Jesus why do people keep putting A&R! When they sell AR gear?

Agreed

Also, Cambridge Soundworks when they are selling Cambridge Audio... A couple of years ago I remember someone selling B&W speakers as "Black & Whites" ... Did they get confused with lemonade

If you can, get some replacement inductors as IMO the originals are the weakest part of the design. Jantzen audio sell air-core replacements that will cost around £20 all in delivered.

You would lose the functionality of the midrange switch, I don't know how much of an issue that would be for you ?
