Yeah gotta listen to the wife!
I still have a pair of original Fontaines with granite sides which are still going well 20+ years, purchased ex-dem.
Andra III's again ex-dem, blew the tweeters and the resistors on the crossovers. The crossovers are very basic not what you should expect from such an expensive speaker. Their power handling is terrible, I wouldn't go over 300wpc.
Many companies will make internal and external crossovers but it's a major PITA to remove the isobaric (double) bass drivers to get to the crossovers which are smaller than a packet of cigarettes. Never could live with the carbon fibre mid-range drivers but at that time there wasn't such good choices for drivers. IFIRC the Andra I and maybe the Andra II had their mid-range divers wired directly to the amp with no crossover.
Next was a pair of Dianes, installed in a smaller system but they gave me tinnitus. Otherwise no complaints, great sound. Ha Ha.
Currently my main system has ATC SCM 100 Passives which can eat 1000wpc for breakfast and piano sounds effing fantastic and my tinnitus is 98% gone!
I've got pics of the crossovers somewhere, I'll post them.
