the 2's were designed for more/better bass and to get the woofers off the floor.
a crossover was added to smooth the response in the bass to mid-bass transition. i owned both and most owners that did the upgrade are VERY happy they did. as for any perceived problems with the treble response, an overwhelming majority of people love the tweeters in the andras. they lack harshness, and sound unfailingly neutral, even at higher volumes.
no speaker is perfect however, and i haven't heard the andra 3's which now have faster midrange drivers composed of carbon fiber. why a pair of 2's can't be upgraded AGAIN to incorporated better midranges is the next question on the horizon. If enough people ask Egglestonworks to offer this path they would probably do it (as long as they make some money in the process of course).
