Matrix 802 w/North Creek Crossovers

[nz022]

Anybody else using the Matrix 801 or 802 with the North Creek Crossovers?

I have owned everything but the 803 from the Matrix series of B&W.(mostly Series II editions)

I have also had the following tweaks:

B&W BAFs inexpensive ... that's all I will say
Krell BAFs expensive but added some additional dimension to the 801
North Creek Crossovers with 802 expensive but oh what an improvement over stock units

I kinda have the itch for some newer/upgraded speakers but I am having a hard time letting go of these and finding replacements of equal sound quality and value at or about $5K.

I'm also running Matrix 802's with North Creek External Crossovers. Mine were originally Series II but were upgraded by B&W to Series III specs back in the late 80's. The North Creek Crossovers are a recent upgrade. My assessment of them is the same as yours.

If it is OK, I'd ask for opinions on a 4th alternative:

Anyone have experience with the JPS Labs Golden Flutes?
