Ok, so after much, much pondering and the temptation of a slight discount, this happened:
Then this:
And finally this:
This final step was a total PITA as the brown and white wires from the binding posts are exactly that long, in fact that’s pretty much strung like a bass guitar tension wise, that is all the space you get to work with. No where near enough to lay the baffle flat. It’s actually even tighter than the old crossover as the wire positioning is different, the input wires being central on the new crossover rather than offset to one side (see first pic). I’m amazed I managed it neatly without hitting anything else with the iron (though I did slightly hit my hand).
How do they sound? Not the slightest clue as I’m waiting for a big book from Amazon to land so can’t fire the upstairs system up. I know they work as I tested them briefly on the TV rig. I’ll probably hold fire commenting for a while to give them a chance to bed in. It’s done anyway, Gold Badge in everything but gold badge on the back. I figured I may as well as these are keepers. No matter what other speakers come and go having a pair of LS3/5As knocking around is never a bad thing.
