   **Maybe. IME, however, Radford built crossovers for his speakers that far   
   eclipsed the KEF crossover, that were used for the same drivers (B139, B110,   
   T27). In 1974 I built a pair of Bailey designed transmission lines, based on   
   the above KEF drivers. Bailey suggested the use of Radford crossovers for a   
   modest sonic improvment. The improvement was far from modest. Radford used   
   hefty air core inductors (rather than the crappy ferrite cored KEF ones and,   
   most interestingly, a parallel LC network to cure a resonance problem with   
   the B110 (that KEF never bothered to sort out 'till much later). The Radford   
   crossovers were impressive beasts, compared to the KEF ones, both visually   
   and sonically.   
      
   Was Radford a penny-pincher?   
      
   Not with crossovers.
