Good points. Thanks, Mr, Krueger. You may be right. My Tower IIs have
fried their xovers twice in about 4 months. Maybe that' their main
weakness. I also have the Ensemble II speakers, very inefficient at 85
db/watt. My Yamaha AX596 can't drive them hard enough and they have
never ever failed. The Behringer amp you suggested could probably
drive them quite decently, but I needed more than those Ensembles
could give. They had no depth and the system only went down to 40 Hz.

The tower IIs, at 90 or 91 db/watt, are much more efficient and go
deeper, down to 30 Hz compared to the Ensembles 40 Hz. Oh, and the
tower IIs have a significnant depth to them as well. Quite seductive,
especially after moving up from the Ensembles. But the xovers keep
failing.

Hmmm, decisions decisions.

How hard would it be to take the Xover out and replace the components
with higher grade stuff? I'm a novice when it comes this. Just
wondering.
