@Finjima,
I'm the guy that Ed built the crossovers for. First, let me say I do not consider myself an audiophile by any stretch, however, I'll give you an idea of the before and after to me. They started as a really nice sounding pair I picked up locally from craigslist. Vocals were good,sounded really nice..bass was good but not what I remembered from the set a friend's dad had in the 80's. I liked mine so much I wanted to boost the performance, if I could. I had Richard So redo the tweets and mids along with the crossovers done by Ed. The result is a SUPER clear set of speakers. Separation of instruments in crowded passages is first rate, magnitudes better than before. The bass is way tighter and deeper. The overall sound is just as unified as before. However, everything, and I mean everything, is way more precise. It did not make them fatiguing in the slightest. Was it worth it? Well, it wasn't cheap, but these are lifetime speakers for me. I am sure there is better out there, but I really love that ADS sound, and Ed did it right. I'm sure if I'd put the original crossovers in them they would have been good, but, I wanted that vintage set from my youth that I couldn't afford, taken to the extreme. I'm beyond happy with the results, and in the end, that's all that counts.
