This is going to be funWell, AllenB just describes The third stage of crossover tweaking, which is fun...
Dynaudio will certainly have worked to a budget - crossovers represent one area in which manufacturing costs can be saved.They were very well regarded in their heyday about 15 years ago and they were more of a mid-tier Dynaudio line and so I imagine that maybe parts quality was one of the areas they cut some corners to meet a price point.

However, the components will have been chosen to match the characteristics of the drivers and upgrading would require a complete crossover redesign - fun for some, but perhaps not for the uninitiated!
That ferrite core inductor look like about 1 mH, or so. The air core inductor with the same inductivity and DC resitance is bigger, but not as much as you describe.If the ferrite has a u of 1000 which is average I believe you need at least 30 times as many turns and the wire will need to be at least 5 times as thick for the same inductance, resistance. Is that right? Thats a large coil, 1000 times? as much copper. The different size will effect the inductance some how and the length of wire. Lots of variables so wondering if someone has some real data.
I'm looking for opinions about modding any of the components on this crossover. Any recommendations on which parts and what I might replace them with would be much appreciated, thanks!
You know how much is it worth when a diyer does a modification of a commercial loudspeaker in the eyes of a future buyer? Just a little below zero!![]()
What is good about small speakers like this is they very much imitate the human head in size:
This means they do human voices very well. Apparently we have evolved to hear voices for 500,000 years. Musical instruments go back a mere 5,000 years, so we have way to evolve.
If Alan Shaw of Harbeth knows what he is talking about, he doesn't worry about using expensive aircoils or MKP capacitors.
He uses cheaper ferrites coils and MKT capacitors:
