Problem Solvers Needed-Got my New XOs installed and am worried....
Some good suggestions; 1) Contact the expert and describe your issues. Crossovers don't need burn-in to sound good, just get better. 2) Good suggestion mijostyn, maybe error. My thought; Hope the original iron core inductors were not replaced with...

+1, Bill is pretty good. 
popping noise from my speakers
Sounds like your amp needs service. Try disconnecting the preamp from the power amp and run the power amp connected to the speakers only. If popping still happens, you've isolated it to the amplifier. 
Rotel RA-1592 MK II or something else to deliver around 200W to B&W towers around $3000?
Excellent choice, enjoy👍 
JBL Olympus C-50 loudspeakers
Do the speakers have a wire coming out of them to plug into the wall ac outlet? If so, then the speakers have an amplifier built in (very rare). If not, then you will need an amp to use the model 7 preamp. The Pioneer SX450 does not have a separab...

Have you heard darTZeel Amplifiers
Thanks for all of your feedback. Have all, or a few of you actually heard a darTZeel amplifier? What was your impression of the sound? Are the string instruments detail as good as the specs suggest? Particularly the attack, pluck of the string. Ha... 
Capacitors for Sony SS7300A
They should be fine for the three (3) values you mentioned, the newer capacitors should also improve the SQ. Going to 50µf as apposed to 47µf will cause the crossover frequency to be REDUCED by about 6%. For 70µf it will lower the crossover freque... 
Bass sensation like a loud car system in home?
mikelavigne - That's a very nice system, I'm envious. Why did you delete your post? I'd like to learn more, how do you know it's -3dB at 7Hz. and -6dB at 3Hz., was that correct? 
Tekton 4-10 Subwoofer
Get smaller single or push-pull drivers and more of them to spread around the room. That approach simply works better than 1 or 2 big ones.
