    Pioneer CS-911A Crossover rebuild

    Howdy folks I’ve got me a mighty fine set of the aforementioned speakers that I’d like to recap and I wanted to ask you all for some advice on the matter. This is my first attempt at a crossover rebuild and I am not sure if replacing these caps would make any difference. I don’t have a...

    Any way to get a value off this old x-over cap?

    Recapping the crossovers on my speakers but there is no schematic available so I’m not sure as to what the value of this particular cap is. Is there any way to find out just by the codes they have printed on them? Photo below.

    JBL LC310-1 speakers, how to improve?

    Greetings everyone. I just purchased a pair of JBL LC310-1 speakers from a good friend on his very strong recommendation. He repairs and sells speakers for a living. He thinks these are some of the best sounding smallish speakers he has heard, period. I have them hooked up to a Sansui AU-D7...

    Kef 102.2 Refurbishing - a write-up

    I’m currently in the process of refurbishing a pair of Kef 102.2, and while there seems to be a lot of topics covering the more popular 104.2 for example, I found little information about the 102.2. I have therefore decided to do a write-up about the process. Hopefully it can be of use or...

    Cerwin Vega D2 Crossover removal

    I'd like to replace the capacitors in the crossovers of my vintage D2 Cerwin Vega speakers (I purchased circa '87). In other models the crossover assembly can be removed from the outside by first removing the mounting screws. However, this model doesn't have mounting screws, see attached...

    BOSE 601 Serie I , Crossover replacement.

    Hi, I got a pair of Bose 601 Series I speakers from 1977 that havent been used for more than 20 years. I've taken the speakers to a technical service to restore the foam to all the woofers and tweeters and he told me it would really improve the sound to change the crossover for one new...

    Please help me figure these crossovers out

    I have a set of speakers made in the early to mid 1970s buy a mad scientist speaker maker who owned an audio shop in a nearby small town back in the 60s - 80s. Unfortunately, he passed away in the 80s so I'm unable to ask him any questions about his crossovers. This guy made what were some...

    New Caps for old speakers

    I recently acquired a nice pair of Hartley speakers, a CG and a Cg jr. Unfortunately, through a deadly combination of sunny weather, painting the house and very strong beer (Oscar's Old Chub), I fried the tweeter in one of the boxes. (little 30 watt Fisher Futura 202 on 8 may have clipped a...

    Capacitor Identification / cap quality / sound / CV T15

    So, I've got a thread on here restoring a set of CV Cerwin Vega circa 1975 T15 s. Have (I think) isolated a capacitor as having blown; really avoiding any and all soldering "sittings"; ideally would like to know what the capacitor I think is fritzed is (its the big silver one on the board...

    Crossover on original Spendor SP100

    I'm thinking of buying a pair of older Spendor SP100s. Does anyone have the crossover circuit and perhaps have a recommendation on whether or not to recap the crossover and at what age? I'd probably buy them on-line in Europe and have them shipped to me out in the boondocks. I thought I...

    Replace entire network or re-cap 40-yr old Showco S-200 crossover?

    I've got a good one for you esteemed audiophiles... These are EXTREMELY rare and obscure but beautiful sounding speakers made by Showco, the arena rock sound system pioneers. Showco circa 1978 took one of their patents for folded horn speaker design and made a handful of studio monitors they...

    Kef R107 Crossover

    Guys, I have bought a pair of "like new" kef 107's with two different KUBES version 1, and version 2. Currently I am listening to them without the KUBE and would like to get onto re-capping the crossover. I have done much work on my 105.1, but the heads are different on these and I have...

    Pioneer HPM-900 Refresh

    First post here but thought you guys might like to see some speakers I'm working on. I found a set of Pioneer HPM-900s on Wallapop or one of the other new classified apps (c'list has gotten so expensive for vintage gear near NYC). They were only $75 but were in fairly rough shape. Both 12s...

    Sansui SP-200 speakers

    I recently picked up a pair of Sansui sp-200 speakers. They are in very nice condition, Grills too! Anyway, initially they sounded very muddy and congested. Lots of bass though. First I cleaned the selector switch and that got the mids working on one and the tweeters on the other. Now all the...
