Modifying Crossovers


I just read a post about changing resistors and caps in the new Borresen X3 speakers. I am curious why there is interest in changing the components in a brand new speaker. I also am curious if it would make them better than why didn’t the designers put a better component in the first place. Just a thought and scratching my head. Have a great day.

Interesting discussion.  I am pondering updating the crossover components on my IRS Beta. They are original except that I have "re glued" some of the components that fell off.  Odd that they used what seems to be glue gun adhesive and then hung components instead of placing them on the bottom of the crossover enclosure.

 

In my case, there is Bayer in Germany that developed a modern crossover for the speakers.  I wonder how they sound.......
