replacing crossover with external one

Hi,

I have vintage speaker which i really like- Jbl L300.
I already recon the speakers, and now i'm checking the options for renew the crossover.
Far as check - renew the crossover is not trivial cause the crossover covered and really accessible .
SO the idea of external crossover came up... but i'm not really sure if it will give good results ,
The speakers(96 DB) are 3 ways with mid horns ,
I don't want to do Bi Amp by adding more amplifer to my system but want to stick to one tube amp monoblock per speakers.
Thanks!

The L300 was a good speaker and is quite collectable, so you might make sure your changes are reversable. But I think that JBL's crossover designs of the era are a weak point, and there are significant improvements to be had with revisions.

For a in-depth discussion of the specifics, I'd inquire with the guys at the vintage JBL forums:
