I doubt you're going to get an answer on this board, so here it goes. I can't speak to the values of caps and inductors in the AN crossover because those are individually matched to the specific drivers used in the enclosure. The real problem with cloning an AN is that the drivers are not commercially available, as far as I know. Vifa sells a driver with a rubber surround that is very close to the one in the E, but of course it has a rubber surround and that makes all the difference. I believe the one AN uses is from SEAS. The tweeter is definitely not commercially available. It used to be, but it's long gone now. Vifa does manufacture a 8" driver with foam surround, but these are only sold to Snell Acoustics to be used as replacement drivers for their old speakers. If you really want to clone an AN/E, you might think about buying a Snell EII. Whether this is really a 'clone,' I'll let you be the judge.
