Crossovers range in price from your fits-all Parts Express units, to several hundreds $$ on high end crossovers.

not saying it was unreasonabl.BTW this is the second time an Axiom xover has failed on me.I don't recall any other speaker I've owned my entire life that the xover has failed,I'm suspicious.

In the time I've been here, I don't recall anyone ever saying that they needed to replace a crossover. For you to need to replace two is really odd.
I wonder if something else is going on up-stream?

Stinger, it's unusual to have a crossover crap-out(twice) so hopefully there isn't some other problem there. Anyway, why not remove the crossover and either send it to Axiom to have a look at it(call them first), or take it to a reputable local audio store to have them look at it....could be you don't need to replace the entire crossover, possibly just a part or a bad wire.

Hi Stinger,
By the way, all prices quoted at Axiom include the shipping charges, so the crossover price includes that.
This is extremely unusual to have several crossover failures (if that's what it is). In my 8 years at Axiom, I recall only one other crossover replacement because of a cracked circuit board, and I see all the warranty/out of warranty emails.
What sort of amplifier/receiver are you powering the speakers with? I'd also take the Adcom power conditioner out of the circuit. I'm suspicious of those.
Regards,
Alan
