JBL L100 Century Crossover?

Has anyone out there tried Troels Gravesen's crossover design for the JBL L100 Century? I'm wondering if it's worth the current $600 for the kits to do the upgrade. Anyone heard the results? People have been parting out the L100s like it's a fire sale-which I think is a waste. But if I switch the crossovers will I get the value I've put into it?

Dodger4, You mentioned that Parts Express sells a crossover upgrade from Jantzen for the JBL L100.  I do not find it on their site.  Is it a kit or are you just pricing this out by component based on Troels' crossover?

it improves the sound of the L100 L100a by about 40% gets rid of the ssssss in female voices ,,bass and mid tighter well worth the money,,,just better sound..

Interesting question. I have seen other crossovers for less$. But, my speaker guy did a mod (proprietary) to one pair of my L 100s that was awesome for only $85. ea. He swears it is as good as a 3 0r 600 replacement xover kit. I sure like it. Will probably do my other pair. These are fine old speakers and I don't let the high tech naysayers bother me on this at all. Joe
