so this was replacing a StereoLab crossover from the original KHorn.. i ran the speakers for a few days with the old and the sound was ok.. seemed like some gaps though and a wool sweater vest on the mids and highs.. bass was more of a thunk, than a thump but not terrible for 50+ year old caps and drivers.
the ALK III Universals were pretty, an easy 'install' and an immediate, perceptible change in the sound output.
I let them cook up on a burn-in disc for an hour before playing anything..then went for some organ music and the bass was now more of a thump.. it crept out on the floor, into my shoes with better extension.
the sweater vest was off the mids and highs with better clarity, separation and location..
I'm going to replace the tweeter and bass drivers, with new Crites replacement solutions before long..
They're dialable, as far as attenuation with 18 ( I think) different settings. I bumped up the mid/ top end output a bit, by simply moving jumpers and connects.. and the sound improved even more.
The other option was redoing the current crossover but from what I was reading and hearing the new model is an upgrade over a rebuilt original.
100% worth the cost of admission.
Look great haven’t got to hear them I haven’t figured out how to connect the woofer and input
I Really like the universal 3 crossover. Extremely pleased with my purchase thanks!
Mike,
The speakers and crossovers are fantastic! I dampened the squawker horn and back panel with Dynamat and added some fiberfill insulation. I’ve demoed a pair Heresy IV with my McIntosh MAC 4100 on the day of purchase. This mod put those to shame.
Thank you,
Mark Custer

I built a pair of horn loaded 3-way speakers. The ALK crossover is just what they needed. The low end bass and imaging are awesome. Wish I had bought them sooner.
