    Hey guys HAPPY holidays Xmass NYE etc hope youll play your music LOUD during these days ;) I have a problem.

    The KEF R107 Cabinet Thread

    Great informative thread thank you! I have that pair with Raal ribbon and was totally unaware that I had to position head units in a way so that the Raal ribbon is at 90 degrees to the floor/cabinet. So the head would need to tillt forward down and stay in that position, which they wont do as...

    KEF 107 Upgraded Xover, Size and impact on speaker volume

    Hi A quick question for more educated than myself ( most of you really ...lol) ... On original crossover there are two 100uF caps in parallel followed by inductor and that path leads to MF terminals . As you can s in photo in my previous post above those two were replaced by one HUGE Solen...

    Hi again...I am curious about few caps on bass crossover...mine was recapped with F&T ATBI instead of ALCAP which seems like a good choice as F&T supplies Mundorf from what I have heard :) ... Anyway ...in original crossover there are two 100uF caps in parallel followed by an inductor to...

    Crossover Resistors advice needed

    hmmm.My last post disappeared...anyway Thanks for quick replies! As the Jantzens are cheap I am more and more considering them at least for Zobel/impedance network but if I get chance Ill stretch to mix of Ohmite AG and Mills12. I have read that Mills can sound lifeless and "rounded" but appart...

    Crossover Resistors advice needed

    Hi guys I got some nice speakers that use Raal 70-10D and KEF B110. Crossover uses ClarityCap PX/ESA ...BUT all resistors are cement type Bennic. I have an itch that needs scratching and I want to change resistors for some non inductive audiophile type. I dont want to spend crazy money on...

    Kef 107 hf crossover bad surprise, need help.

    Guys any suggestion on which resistors to use ...If I had unlimited budged Id get Path or Mundorf Ultra but it gets expensive real quick so Im deciding which to get up to say 7$/piece . Which ones would be best suited to midrange and which to tweeter ? Tnxx

    Thats a good advice about the foam...wasnt thinking about that...thanks. I have one more question ... I see that you have opted to bypass SOME of electrolytics on both crossovers and left some alone. Is there a particular reason for choosing exactly those? Also what bypass cap value did you...

    I need info on resistors in LF crossover. Could someone post values of those 5 resistors? I realised all of the resistors in both crossovers were left as original , sand cast type el cheapo. Has anyone directly compared if theres palpable improvement when changing these to say...

    Good luck. Looking forward to some pictures :) That Kinki stuff looks like it will do the job, nice stuff, just confused with 250 (2-8ohm) spec. Also nice to see PCB and trannys direct ounted onto output connectors. Hope it doesnt heat up mtch :) I heard them in Melbourne but with Vienna...

    KEF 107 Upgraded Xover, Size and impact on speaker volume

    AK is on fire with R107 threads Anyhoo I think(i know) that XO is unnecessary big. What does this tell you ...usual thing audiophiles without EE knowledge to is to buy exotic caps of same value (god forbid they do +-10%) and copy n paste instead of educate themselves what could they do to...
