Hi,
Making a debut post here.
Like to ask if someone could determine the crossover freq for this two way design, Egglestonworks Fontaine Sig SE. Secondly, to confirm those resistors are in parallel, which I think likely so.
I had the non SE version and the manufacturer sent me the schematic for SE version. I can do some simple soldering work but new to crossover design. The manufacturer were not responsive with queries though.
Thanks!

In order to understand the XO frequency one has to know the drivers impedance.
What kind of upgrade are you contemplating?

I'm going to guess 1400Hz. Of course it isn't really as simple as that.
I'd also guess the same about parallel resistors.

Thanks guys for the responses,
Tweeter is Dynaudio Esotar 1 - 8 ohms
Midbass - Morel Supreme SCW636 Carbon Fiber Cone Woofer - 8 ohms
I have the non SE version of this spk, now upgrading to the SE version which the manufacturer said addresses shortcoming of the original, lack of bass and forward sounding.
The change is not that difficult hence wanted to try it out. Asking for crossover freq is for my learning sake as I explore more into spk XO.

I really am astonished how Egglestonworks thinks to get away with a crossover like that on speakers costing a small fortune. From the diagram I can tell the BSC isn't executed properly and the DI vs. frequency of the speaker obviously hasn't been a design issue. Guess you could fix some with equalizing (BSC) but the DI won't come right.

Yes, lucky that they can still survive for so long. This pair is retailed at USG10K ish. I got it cheap through trading with another guy who wanted my other speaker. I will try it out and see how it sound. Their support hasn't been great at all from my experience.

You may find these measurements of their Andra loudspeaker even more astonishing:
