I have an opportunity to purchase a pair of Utopia mid drivers and was wondering is it feasible to use these drivers in place of my Polyglass mids using the polyglass xovers and tweets? What would be the pros and/or cons of not having the Utopia xovers? Is it worth doing or should I wait til I can afford the whole Utopia set?

Thanks

Dave

I don't know enough about Focal components to tell you if this will sound good, but in general it is not a good idea to use passive crossovers with speakers other than the ones they were designed for. On the other hand, if the impedence of the speakers being swapped is the same, it will function and not damage anything.
