The Northcreek literature indicates that their crossover upgrade eliminates the protection circuit. What does this mean in practical terms? Will sharp transients (accidents happen) or prolonged loud volumes (not a problem with me)damage the speakers? Thanks for the comments.
Any experience with Northcreek crossover for B&W?
Does anyone have experience with the Northcreek crossover upgrade for the B & W 801 Series II speakers (or any other B&W model)? If so, was the upgrade difficult to install and was the sonic improvement worth the $1600 cost? How would you describe the sonic improvement? Trying to upgrade from my B & W's can really get pricey and this appears to be a reasonable alternative. The amplifier in use is the Pass-designed Threshold S550e and the FET 10 preamp. The SACD player is the Sony SCD777ES. Thanks.
