Hi, I have been around Hi Fi all my life. I have built my own amplifiers, speakers and several turntables. It is a long time since I was on the forum and have changed my email address. As you can guess from my name, I am no spring chicken but I refuse to go quietly into that night and although I need to wear 2 sets of specs, can still hold a soldering iron. (why have the Americans refused to say the "L" in solder") and my best days are spent in my workshop with a cup of coffee and a puff of white smoke from an exploding electrolitic. So thats me.
I have managed to come across a couple of Leema xen cabinets, without tweeters or crossovers.
I emailed Leema as I have bought their products in the past and always found them very helpful but on this occasion I have not had any answer.
Anyway I have managed to source some leema tweeters and some tubing for the ports, which I understand need to be 10 inches each. What I can’t find is any sort of of diagram or schematic for the crossover. I have made some, a simple butterworth circuits which is a lot of guesswork but I must say they do sound very good indeed. Loads of bass and very detailed. For the size of cabinet they are pretty amazing.
What I would like to do is find a diagram of the original crossovers or a photo to see how far I am away.
They are the mark 1’s with light wood front panels, metal boxes and more black Alan screws than screwfix has in stock.
So any help, information would be very welcome.

I remember hearing the Xens at a show when they were first released - I thought they were an outstanding mini-monitor. I've never seen any crossover detail anywhere, however, beyond the reviews which give the crossover point as 3.8kHz.
So unless Leema are willing to share the schematic, you may be out of luck. But if you've got them sounding good already, it's a win anyway.
