I have a pair of Altec Lansing 604Cs. Their stock crossovers are bright, cheaply made and have always been regarded as an afterthought.
I replaced them with a pair of Doug Sax’s Mastering Lab https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7mW8BF-Bvw and https://reverb.com/item/25855847-the-mastering-lab-604-5-frequency-dividing-network-crossover-35228 and https://www.esbcar.com/doug-sax-and-the-706 crossovers but first replaced the caps with Jensen oil-immersed copper foil aluminum tube capacitors https://www.ebay.com/b/jensen-capacitor/bn_7024921440
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.

@vair68robert excellent point. |
@lemonhaze My good will stands but it sounds like you know more about upgrading crossovers than I do. My component choices were educated guesses based on manufacturer reputations, online reviews, and respected opininions of a good friend. I have them both built and plan to cut out the walnut box and maybe get it glued together today. https://photos.app.goo.gl/drhDHtD7pZ5cbQf39
