B & W 801 S3 Crossover Upgrade

That is awesome. Please let us know how it works out. I’ve put a lot of funds into building a second system and that’s another reason I never did anything just yet. It will be much easier to justify if I hear anything positive from this upgrade. I’m very curious how his upgraded crossover would compare to the North Creek crossovers. Those looked pretty impressive. I love the idea you can keep your old ones because I believe that helps with resale should you ever decide to sell the S2’s. Were you able to speak with Eugen via phone or just email communication? I asked for his number and he responded he would rather communicate via email. I think that pushed me back a bit as well. Let us know how it turns out. Thank you, Joe

@Sabciu, did you ever get your crossovers back from the modification/upgrade? I was wondering if you would like to share how they turned out and read it worth the $$$

I was pretty excited to find this, current,  thread on the 801 crossover upgrade. I was especially excited to read that Sabciu pulled the trigger on the Ebay offering. Unfortunately, it appears to be another dead end, for now. Hopefully someone can shed some light on the subject, soon, because one one my stock crossovers failed.
I really appreciate all of you here.
Thanks for having me,
John

Hello, is anyone out there listening to this thread? Tim

This was mentioned here: "According to Frank VanAlstine, the S2’s had a crossover issue which B&W addresses on the S3."

 

That no-parts mod is explained here: https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/b-w-matrix-801-series-2-enter-the-lab-and-get-the-van-alstine-treatment.512873/

 

I employed that change to my II's.  Does it improve the II''s sound?  Not to my ears.
