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?

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...

Nope. I was surprised too... They are 100% original & relatively late with the lytic dated '93.Originally Posted by pure sound

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?
