vair68robert..Just saw the exposed crossover you posted. The single easiest most dramatic improvement would be for you to replace all the resistors shown with either non inductive wire wounds from Mills or Mundorf. I would replace the resistors first before the wire..You will always hear the resistors shown and their low level noise will still be present in any wire you try. Change the resistors first/next..

Curious how these improvements in passive, analogue  xo would compare to active, digital xo. Anyone made this comparison?

Well you would have 2 conversions when really only none is required..And you would have many more component parts including the probable use of a couple of noisey switching power supplys. Other than that it would work. I have run digital eq and xo on my system once and only on the subs which I quickly removed. Tom 

Thank You theaudiotweak

I've already ordered some Mills resistors for the tweeter to test to see how difficult it will be to remove the old ones from all that glue .
I'm doing the wire first so I can install fastons for the wiring 
so the boards can be taken out to work on easily ,
I'll remove the fastons and solder the wiring last .
Plus it will give me more time to gather information and advise .

Good to see you again. Thank You for the comparison and update on your 3.5 loudspeakers. Rob is the man when it comes down to our beloved speakers.  Also good to read that your amp project turned out well.

Happy Listening!
