Do aftermerket crossovers improve sound?

A company called Northcreek sells aftermarket crossovers for B and W 8o2-matrix series 3. I own a pair of these. These aftermarket crossovers are Quite expensive. They actually cost just about what the speakers are worth.Northcreek claims that these crossovers will make a very noticable improvement in the speakers sound. Is this just snake oil? Has anyone out there invested in these? I cant afford new speakers because of the economy so I was considering purchasing these.

Ya, you could go active but that would require multiple amps or a multi-channel amp (Accuphase and Ayre come to mind) and the 802's are not an easy load.
