      A techie friend and I want to see if we can up grade/restore some of the components. Mine were built in the 90's. I have had them about a month and noticed a little brightness in the very upper most frequencies. I know there is an after market crossover upgrade but they sell for over two grand. OUCH..

        Hi,

        I will send you the description of a crossoverFix by Van Alstine; part of it is a plan/diagram.

          Thank you so very much. I will post the results if any alteration or upgrades are done.

          FYI: The 801's have been a dream of mine since the mid 80's. I've had them a month and so far they are a DREAM come true.

          Again, Thank you

          Allyn

            Google AVA for HiFi for the Van Alstine crossover mod.

              801 questions for anybody who can help
              by hpmax
              Hi,
              I've just come across an opportunity to pick up some 801's series II for a very reasonable sum.
              While earlier in my life I had more time to dedicate to pursuing my audiophile interests. All I wanted for christmas was a pair of 801's and some levinson monoblocks to go with them....

              801 S2 Matrix for mains - what for side and rear?
              by rkburton
              I'm using my 801 Matrix Series 2 and HTM Matrix for the front 3 speakers.
              Currently using some old Epicures for the rear. Now that I'm upgrading the whole theatre I was looking for suggestions for the side-surrounds and rears.
              Contemplating 805 Matrix for the side vs. more HTMs for the...

              Introducing Myself And Questions (MATRIX 801 SERIES III)
              by Jorgitox
              Hi everybody!

              As many of you, the Matrix 801 were a dream from the very beginning, when falling into Hi-Fi clutches. Years have passed and finally I could bought a pair of 801 Series II second handed (white ones), while now I also got another pair of 801 (black ones), but in Series III....
