Even Troels with all Z caps = xovers cost more than the drivers,,!!!!!...
Can not match a high sens performance in mids/highs.- mozartfan
How much to invest, and where the diminishing returns lay, is how well the drivers could possibly play together, how the cabinet works, and the crossover points implementation on the chosen drivers... - rixthetrick
@mozartfan - There's no surprise superior engineered drivers will produce a better result.
Yes, it is more complicated to know where and when to spend the money to get the best results for the investment. I am assuming you didn't just upgrade the capacitors and nothing else in the crossover networks?
There's no blanket statement for crossover upgrades in the many varying speaker designs out there, on that we wholly agree.
Though, depending on the parts used, upgraded parts can be as results varying as using different ingredients in a recipe - substantial differences.
