Just ordered a pair. Will be here Monday. Reviews to follow.They are 89.99 now on Amazon.
After going thru this thread does anyone know if there is a Dennis Murphy mod for the center channel or is it just for the bookshelfs? I was thinking about getting the center channel but don't want it to not match up.
So much for 2 day shipping with Prime... they're arriving today. Talked Amazon into a $25 credit so these are essentially half price- $65.Just ordered a pair. Will be here Monday. Reviews to follow.
I'm not an expert in crossover design. I know which end of a soldering iron is which, but I leave the design to the pros like Dennis Murphy.
That said, I would think you'd want to stick with 20 AWG for the inductor to keep the DC resistance the same. Changing from 20 AWG to 18AWG would reduce the DC resistance, but I don't know if it would have a significant impact on the crossover frequency
One thing I do know is that reusing the stock inductor paired with the 0.5mH air core inductor (Parts Express PN 255-036) will save you a couple bucks per speaker. The 0.5mH inductors are less expensive than 1.5mH to begin with, plus by using two of the 0.5mH inductors per crossover (one in the woofer circuit and one in the tweeter circuit), you qualify for a quantity discount from Parts Express. It's not a big deal, but it helps keep the costs down a little.
Of course, you'll save more by hard wiring your crossovers instead of using the perf board approach. So, it's all relative.
@MCM_Fan I got overzealous and started unsoldering the wrong part and hogged up the ring that it gets soldered into. Is there a way for me to jumper it ?? Thanks

@MCM_Fan what's your opinion on trying this mod on a pair of BS41s or BS21s? The BS41 has a larger 5.25" woofer and a lower crossover frequency of 2.5kHz vs 3kHz on the BS22s.
