    A simplified answer to AA vs. AL-3 crossover is:

     

    AA for low powered/tube amps.

     

    AL-3 for listening at louder volumes.

     

    I have AL-3’s in my ‘92 LaScalas and am AMAZED at how quietly I can listen to them and still “get into the music”.

     

    There are MANY other options available too... 

     

    The real bonus here is you SHOULD replace the capacitors in 30 year old electronics anyway, so it would be an eventuality to some degree.

     

    Even if you don’t wind up using your LaScalas in your “warehouse”, new crossovers will sound sweet inside.

     

    You are likely on the verge of going pro-audio in your garage.

     

    Looks like you have the fever pretty good.

    Yes I have a big room to fill so I guess the al-3 is my best option unless I can find a nice tube amp to just drive the klipsh

    You need to have them sound like they are supposed to sound before you add subs. They shouldn't sound harsh or distorted. As much as I hate the term, some amps just aren't a match for  certain speakers, there is no synergy. Get good crossovers in them first. Still, make sure all the connections are good.

    I will do that ASAP they sounded good until I started pushing them that's when the bass sounded muddy

    There is a mod page for doing that, and or more possibly. May send @CECAA850 a request to post link again. Do not know what am missing in the bass department but, if the AL/AB are consorts with evil, guess I need a change. Wonder why they were born anyway...undersirables.

    yes I found the guy that makes replacements for them

    Back to bass.

     

    I don't have the energy to read the last 7 pages ...

     

    With LaScalas, you have to have some reinforcement from corners or walls, and even then, if you're doing movies -- they'll fall short.

     

    You can correct the balance with some network changes, but that only gets you halfway there. Any serious bass will require a good subwoofer or two ...

    yes I'm getting that thank you
