    That's not the case, Greg. The V2 cross-over is designed to work with the existing drivers. The ELX cross-over is designed to work with the LX/EX drivers.

    No worries, Greg. Let us know which way you go - V2 or ELX.

    FWIW, I was considering the V2 only but after communicating with Dave, went for the full monty. Well worth the money and no regrets.

    Robert is correct.

    A crossover is specifically designed for the drivers it will be sending the signal to. It will never function properly if a driver it was not designed for is connected. In other words, whenever a different driver is used, it will require crossover changes.

    V2 Tower and ELX Tower use different crossovers.

    Yea...I had thought the same prior to placing my upgrade order. Dave alerted me about V2 to ELX is not feasible...so I must decide what way I'll go...in the end...very happy with the V2...of course in my case I changed the dome so the improvement was substantial...

    Towers can definitely be upgraded from V2 to ELX, but this upgrade is essentially the same as going from original towers to ELX towers as the V2 crossover must be changed to the ELX crossover. I generally don't recommend going from original to V2 then to ELX, simply because of doing all that work twice. So if someone is planning to eventually go to ELX, it makes the most sense to go direct to ELX, rather than V1 to V2 to ELX.
