Hey all,
I have a pair of Klipsch Quartets that haven't been used in a few years.
Previously I replaced the crossover caps and tweeter diaphragm to Ti from Bob Crites.
While the brochure lists a high sensitivity number, as far as I know the impedance/phase plots of these Klipsch are pretty ugly.
I have a few single ended tube amps (5W-10W) and instead of building another speaker (full ranger, OB or what not) I was thinking of making a new crossover, one that has a friendlier impedance for single-ended amps.
I have ARTA/LIMP and have used it only to test amps but never to test a speaker/crossover.
I don't have any experience with this so would appreciate help in where to start, unless this isn't a good idea.
Thoughts?

There are a number of ways to measure impedance and you could do it using LIMP or ARTA. Whichever way you choose, it will then be easy to put that impedance on a simulator and build a conjugate circuit.
