I have a pair of RTi-A9s getting the crossovers modified. If you divide the cost I paid for the both of them, it will cost me plus $100 to modify the CSiA6. Why does the center cost more to modify maybe due to what the midrange does in the center channel? Help me understand this. I am new to crossover design but, the entire process intrigues me and any info helps.

    VR3 did a great job on mine and I haven't sold them. I'm moving to the LSiM's because I'm listening to music more these days.

    Why are you posting this? Why don't you just ask Tray why it cost more???

    I have bothered poor Trey enough and I am like a kid again waiting on him to get the mods done. Probably going to take a month and me I listen to mostly two channel. I just wanted to see how the center cost more and know there are many people who might know the answer.

    It likely has to do with the labor involved. When I did my RTiA7's and CSiA6, the CSiA6 was a PITA because of the limited space compared to the A7's.
