I'm a little Konfused! As far as I know KXOs were specific to a particular speaker - so how would/could you reset them for completely different speakers such Keilidh, 5120 etc which would have different XO settings??

Ninka and Keilidh share the active same filters as they are very similar in construction.
The 5120 is also very similar.
You can say the same with Katan/Tukan/Sekrit
See the image and you can see for which speakers the filters can be manifactured for.
Besides the Tukan an Keilidh variants the are one variant for Keltik and one for 5140/Espek

Wait a moment. Do you suggest these work for Katan as well? :>

Interesting! From your photo I can see that the board is set for Keilidh/5120 (a surface mount resistor has been fitted at the R602 position) to set the filter for any of the other speakers shown, this resistor would have to be removed and the resistor for that speaker selection soldered in the relevant position. I can glean little more from your zoomed in photo other than that an accompanying PCAS board specific to the required speaker may also need to be fitted?
Could you post another photo - from much further away so we can see exactly what we're looking at please?

You're misunderstanding what this pictures shows.
This filter is not adjustable for the speakers mentioned on the board. The resistor is there simply to show which filter this particular board is.
The empty circuit board is designed for all the speaker models.
The components fitted differ between speaker models.
When components are fitted, this ID resistor is also fitted, to make it easier to identify which speaker it's made for.
As Xanlin writes, all speaker models mentioned in the same row share the same filter settings.

You're right Frederik! - I couldn't hope to fully understand a photo of part of a PCB I'd never seen before.
I was 99.9% sure it would take more than just moving one resistor to make the filter work for the other speakers depicted on the board - you have confirmed my suspicions - thankyou!
However, I remain surprised that a filter for a ported speaker (5120) would work perfectly for the sealed box Keilidh, but then I'm not a speaker design expert!

Once again out of curiosity: can we see the back panel of the filters?
