Regarding my last questions, nevermind. I found the answer regarding the enclosure - definitely not a good idea! And I think I'll be okay with the placement relative to my amplifiers.

Gentlemen,Would a steel or aluminum enclosure be a bad idea for the crossover?Also, I think I'll be able to keep the crossover about a foot away from my monoblocks. Inside the crossover I'll certainly orient the inductors so that they don't interf...

Ait and Irish,Thank you for your suggestions regarding the potting compound idea, and I apologize for not acknowledging your suggestions before now. I didn't immediately comprehend your suggestion, but I got it now. For this project I am not going... 
Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade
Matjet,My experience is mostly consistent with Stanwal's original answer, that it depends on the synergy of the system. I think having a good shop that will work with you is the most important thing to arriving at a satisfying system. I'll share s... 
ARC VSi60 vs Ayon Spirit II/III
Charles1dad,It sure is! My friend got his Spirit-1 with Gold Lion KT88 tubes for a few hundred less than that, but I think it's a great price for a Spirit-2 with Gold Lion KT88s. I'd drive a couple of days to get it.

Irish and Ait,Thank you both for your replies and for your suggestions about the inductors. My primary motivation for this project is not actually the improvements brought by the inductors per se but rather the improvements that I know an upgrade ... 
ARC VSi60 vs Ayon Spirit II/III
Neutron,I'm glad that my comments are helpful, though I sure don't think of myself as an Ayon subject matter expert. It has been fun playing with that little Spirit-1 though, I like it a lot.There's a Spirit-2 listed now on Audiogon at what I thin...

Undertow,Thank you for your reply, and I apologize for the confusion - I sure wasn't clear what I was talking about in my previous post. The current project involves my pair of Silverline Bolero speakers which still has the 100% stock crossover in...

Face, Ait, Irish65 and Undertow,I wanted to thank you all for your replies, each was very helpful. While I would love to use Duelund CAST in part or all of this project, unfortunately my budget priorities preclude it. I believe, however, that with...

Undertow and Face,I don't think this is necessarily a good question as you probably don't have enough information about my system to provide the quality of answer you would prefer, but I'll ask anyway: Do you guys have a preference between wire ve...

Undertow and Face,Thank you both very much for your replies, they were very helpful. Based on your experience, for this project I'm going to go 100% Clarity MR.As for the inductors, I was planning to match the manufacturer's values but experiment ...

Undertow,Since posting my response last night I went out to the North Creek website and in their write-up they mentioned the 8&10awg inductors being associated with both the mid- and low-frequency drivers. Whichever I do, 8awg or 10awg, I thin...

Undertow,Thank you for your reply and for the offer of your North Creek inductors. I have not measured the values of the inductors in the crossover yet, but I will certainly keep yours in mind if it looks like they will work.I read your posts on t...
