RE: No soldering of the capacitor

Thanks Neo,
Yes the 3.3R and IIIa crossovers have different values in them. I know for sure the ribbon is slightly different too so perhaps this is partly why the crossover is different.

I won't be getting an XO-1 as I might as well go for the Behringer DC2496 and go active instead instead (and like you say the XO-1 might be the best choice for me anyway as its probably designed for the IIIa, not 3.3R), but if I go with Satie's idea of using a partly active/partly passive line level crossover (passive on the mid/tweeter side), how would I go about choosing a suitable capacitor value to use if (for example) the right crossover point was 350Hz? I am a real NOOB with this!! Satie said too you might have to take into account your amp's input impedance when choosing the cap value too (input impedance of both my power amps is 20K)

Cheers,
Colin
