    Upgrade for L100a

    Thoughts about using a pair of 0531t tweeters as an upgrade in stock Centurys? I know there will be cosmetic issues...
    How about using a modestly priced, modern 3-way crossover? I don't see pre-made ones that crossover from low to mid at 1,500... more an octave below that... but the stock crossovers are so minimal that anything may be an improvement...
    Thanks!

    The 1½" cone tweeters on the L100A aren't bad. The uneven response of the LE5-2 mid-range is much more of a problem.

    A more recently designed DIY crossover solves most of the L100A's problems without changing any of the drivers. Crossover frequencies are at about 950 and 5000 Hz, and have steeper roll-off slopes than the original minimal crossovers. See details here http://www.audioheritage.org/vbullet...00A&highlight=.

    Recommend you look at the JBL Alpha1S70 crossover ...would also recommend replacing the midrange with either 104h2 or the new Simply Speaker reproduction le-5.
