[QUOTE="AlexD, post: 1226, member: 22"] The answer to your question is YES and NO.Firstly if its a 2 way crossover with ferrite/iron core inductors and electrolytic caps then its definitely of a lower quality .Normal high end designs use polypropylene caps and air core inductors on the crossovers.For Ultra high end/no compromise designs you'll see the likes of Musicap,Solen,Goertz,Mills and Eagle resistors being used.The inductors would also be the foil type instead of the standard wire especially when placed in the signal path.Below is a pic of a high end crossover which you probably won't find in your so called high end commercial speakers,image courtesy of JDev..As far as the values,one cannot really determine the quality based on that Hope this sheds some light on the matter Cheers [/QUOTE]
