No, but it is on my list

In Reply to: Stirling LS3/5a V2 - External Crossover!? posted by mbnx01 on December 1, 2007 at 10:27:09:

There is more than one way to look at this. I am an LS3/5A owner. For £835 i purchased a new LS3/5A V2 loudspeaker that has a better trebble, mid-range, upper-bass and soundstaging ability than some £5,000 full-range speakers I have heard. If I could spend just £1000 and get 30 additional Hz of bass from my minis I would. But a Harbeth 40 is a bit more expensive than £1835.

Would I pay £1835 for a £5000 full range speaker that sounded generally worse than the LS3/5A but had an 30 additional Hz on the bottom end? No.

Would I be willing to pay an additional £1000 for the small improvements you mentioned that are attributed to the external cross-over? Yes.

I am currently looking at spending from £150-300 for proper set of stands and then I will either buy this cross-over or see if I get the DIY version made for me for a bit less.
