RE: Epos speaker crossover

"You probably are not going to pick-up much by putting expensive parts in this crossover with those drivers. They can even ruin the sound if the caps sound different enough from the stock parts which throws off the voicing. You will transform the speaker from stock to "user modified" if you ever try to sell them."

I agree and can attest to this as I replaced all the cheap and cheerful electrolytic caps in my pair of Fried Beta Signature series of speakers and totally altered the voicing of the speakers and not in a good way!

Yes it was more "accurate" sonically but the "soul" or musicality of the speaker was greatly diminished. Glad I kept all the original crossover caps as they will make a nice project one day when I decide to pull them out of storage and return them to stock as the Beta's were one of the most musical monitors I had the pleasure of owning in the 80's :-)
