    NHT crossover badly damaged; what caused this?

    Hello all, Long time lurker here; I am hopeful someone has an answer/advice for me on this. About 9 years ago, I was *given* a pair of NHT 2.9s for helping someone move. I have NO business owning these as I couldn’t afford them then and could barely afford them now used. For the at least the...

    Klipsch Heresy I Upgrade Recommendations?

    Hi all: My thoughtful girlfriend snagged a pair of 1975 Klipsch Heresy Is at a garage sale this past week for me. I've never had Heresys and these are the "Designer" model with no speaker grill, original raw birch that I assume the first owner stained. The finish is okay for 40+ years, but...

    APOC module, old B&W speakers

    Hi all, Joined up to ask you clever people for help. I was gifted a lovely pair of B&W tower speakers some time ago. Turns out the model number should really be CM1/CM2, as they appear to be two boxes stuck together. My problem is with the tweeters, which are part of the CM1 OLD unit that...

    JBL L100A Jantzen Crossover project with photos.

    A while back I inquired here about doing either the "Murphy" crossover or the commercially sold "Jantzen" crossover "upgrade" for the L100. Several people in this forum including leesonic and especially Richard Swerdlow were kind enough to go out of their way to produce a diagram and a parts...

    Upgrading a pair of realistic nova 15s

    I picked up a pair of nova 15s at a goodwill for $1.99 since they had foam rot... I found the foam for $8 to do the pair, but also heard they could probably use a crossover upgrade, without spending a ton of money on fancy caps... Can i just use standard nichicon caps or will that have a adverse...

    JBL L100 crossover kit--Murphy or Troels Gravensens

    Greetings from a new member. I've been reading and learning a lot here and hope I can refine a topic covered here before regarding crossover kits for the L100. Many years ago I refurbished a pair of JBL L100's. The thick walnut veneer really took the sanding needed to get out the scratches...

    Just recapped a pair of Sansui SP2000 speakers

    I am sure this has been posted many times. But... I bought the speakers at a flea market a while back. I noticed they were buzzy playing some music off Youtube and the buzz was somewhat inconsistent. So, I bought the crossover capacitors and just replaced them all. $7.00 for the parts, $6.95...

    RS Nova 8b recap and trouble shooting

    I have a pair of Nova 8bs cat. 40-4026A that have two blown capacitors (10 uf 50v), meaning I can physically see the end blown out. My mids don't fire at all even though I put a meter on them and they all read dead on 4 ohm. One tweeter works and tests fine and the other is blown. Woofers work...
