$672 for the crossovers/mods I want...

lol , i hope for you there is a substantial difference when paying close to 700 dollars.

I hope so too... but it'll be a while before I have $$ to do that. I've actually been using my Ref 1's in my office and have really been loving them. The ELT525M's are out in the living room and I've been trying to figure out how to switch to the ELT line for my living room, a pair of the towers as mains and a center instead of my Ref 100... but no way around spending more $$$ lol.

It's incredibly amazing how people get convinced that high dollar Xovers are necessary. Almost $700?! Incredible...my suggestion? Build your own. Or if you're not to that stage yet, keep your old one. No sense in buying a $700 Xover and not liking it, but it was 'more expensive, thus it MUST be better'. The BEST Xover is the one that YOU like, not what other companies push onto you, saying it's the best.

it's in the parts... a few $40 caps and you'll get there quickly. Also, norez isn't cheap. and you can buy the parts and put the crossovers together yourself for less $

I just took a look at the images and was going to say you needed a pair!

I just picked up an Auralex Gramma to use under my sub and worth every penny!

bass hits harder with more definition of tones. And the floor doesn't vibrate nearly as much

Lol , i've played these uber loud already. and man they can pump out some bass for their size!! They vibrate the floor like crazy..

I love these speakers though , they sound so clear and accentuate the little things in songs that are often overlooked.

I can't wait to get the Mopads though , i might be getting them today!! pix 4tawin

How much did that run you Jacob, out of curiosity?
