    Very nice work. It may be my inspiration. I wasn't sure I was going to keep my LSi15's but I recently rearranged the room and got better placement. They sound so much better and now I'm thinking it may be time to do XO upgrades.

    With a Crossover upgrade and a Woofer swap I assume these are basically totally different sounding speakers?

    That's my goal.

    I've upgraded the woofers and am patiently awaiting delivery of the crossover units.

    These crossovers turned the LSi15s into a completely different and, in my system, much better speaker system than the stock electronics. Highly recommend.
