Crossover Upgrades
Crossover Upgrades for Legacy Speakers. Below is what one customer had to say:
“I almost can't put it into words without it sounding like an exaggeration. I have some good electronics behind the M6's and the image I'm getting is Stunning! You're hearing so much more around the instruments that you even thought was possible. The performers are so individually well defined! The noise floor reduction is why this is possible. What took me by surprise was the fact that the surface noise on vinyl is so dramatically reduced! People will be backing me up on this down the road! Get the top option guys. With time they'll just get more beautiful,refined!” - Dave W (AudioCircle post)
Old Crossover (typical)
Crossover Upgrade (M6 shown)
M Series
Designed to be a direct replacement for the crossover box that shipped with your original M3 and M6 speakers. The wiring on the M4 needs to be changed to accommodate the new 2.5-way design for a significant improvement.
What you can expect from any of the upgrades offered - Improved soundstage, more precise imaging, more open/holographic presentation. Better clarity and detail across the entire frequency spectrum and deeper bass extension.

X Series
X4 crossover for models produced before 2023. X5 upgrade made possible with the participation of X5 owner, George F. (thank you!) There are no current plans to offer an upgraded crossover to the X3 speakers. If you have a set of these and are willing to send them in for testing we would gladly offer you our opinion on potential improvement.
“… Overall, instruments had increased presence in the sound-stage, better recovery of low level
notes (some I never heard before), and quicker transients. Combined, these changes brought
the music (classical, rock, jazz) another step closer to reality. Baffle-less speakers like the
upgraded X5s sound fantastic with excellent source, amplification, cabling, and vibration control
components. (The original X5s sounded very good but the upgraded X5s sound better in my
system.) …To current X5 owners, I highly recommend the upgrade as well as the original X5s. “
