I cannot afford to buy a pair of real, or even "knockoff" LS3/5A's, so I've
decided to utilize the vast amounts of information and documentation on the
internet regarding how to build your own pair (mainly from www.ls35a.com). I
am an amateur guitarbuilder so construction should be no problem.

My question, I have a pair of 8 ohm KEF B110's (sp1003) and a matching pair
of KEF 8 ohm T27's (sp1032) pulled from a pair of 80's Fried Model B
monitors. I cannot find any useful info about this specific model and I need
to decide on what type of crossover to use. As I understand there was a
different crossover used after 1987 when manufacturing switched to KEF.
Should I use one of the newer crossovers, or the older pre-87 crossovers for
these speakers or does it even matter? btw, I cannot afford the cicable
external crossover (at £600)....all help is GREATLY appreciated. Thankyou!

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the
country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag
the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a
parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can
always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have
to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for
lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

Definitely the older crossovers; they're designed for the B110 you're using,
so at least you'll be in the ballpark. The later crossovers were designed
for a later-model B110 with a different surround.

Only trouble is, you'll need to create that tapped inductor somehow, in
order to adjust the levels properly.

Peace,
