Frank,

The inductor in series with the woofer is more important than the one that shunts the tweeter because it's in the signal path. Rather than spend money to change the coil in the tweeter network, consider changing or bypassing the caps instead. The 8uF and 22uF are large values and may be too expensive to replace completely with boutique caps, but you can experiment with small value bypass. Another option is to experiment and replace the 8uF and 22uF with motor runs. You can pick them up for $4 a piece at Active Surplus on Queen W. Definately play around with replacement for the 0.47uF in the comp network. A lot of people appear to be happy with Northcreek.

Gar.
