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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
This isn't cross posting! I just have a more specific question now....
I have some Showco S200 "Pyramid" studio monitor/speakers that I'm rebuilding and upgrading the wiring and crossovers.
The crossover points are 200Hz , 800 Hz and 5kHz. Before ordering some ClarityCaps from Parts...
I am building a speaker, preferably using dayton audio's reference series 1 1/8" tweeter and 8" woofer wired in parrellel. However, both speakers are 4 ohms and I need help figuring out how to make a 2nd order crossover that will bring the ohm load up to at least 6 ohms, without significantly...
I have a set of ESS model seven(ish) speakers that I was suckered into buying, I tore them apart and the tweeters are blown, crossover is totally out of spec, and I want to rebuild them better than the original. Could someone please help me decide how I could integrate a ribbon tweeter into the...
I am a new poster, sorry if i picked the wrong thread.
I recently acquired a pair of ESS model 9's, =I think.they have the body of 7's, the woofer of 9's, they say model IX on the back plate, and the midrange/tweeter appear to be on both. Anyway, they are getting some TLC and I need to know...
Some background and a word of thanks...
A while back, I asked y'all for thoughts on some Magnavox console drivers. (See the thread Advice on Magnavox console speakers ... )
Everyone who responded offered something interesting and encouraging. The bottom line was these are good speakers...
Hello all.
I found some Celestion Ditton 22s at a charity shop for a bargain price (untested)
Got them home and found that one woofer was "dead".
So I opened them up and had a ferret around inside.
Tested the woofer on the second speaker and it is working.
After a bit of multi-meter testing on...
I want to make sure I do this right so I don't damage these speakers. I still haven't found any info on them (more about that here: http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/what-are-these-please-dont-say-white-van.700784/).
I'd like to use these with my JVC JR-S400 mkII. They sound...
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...
Hi everyone , first post here. I recently went to show the great direct reflect design to a friend, opening the top cover only to notice no sound from either left or right speaker tweeters. Woofers working fine.
I read around and thought maybe the Tweeter protection Lamps were blown.
I...
Hello all, I recently bought a pair of ADS L400 Speakers at a local thrift store (the rounded corners/metal ill type). One speaker sounds great. The other speaker also sounds pretty good but has almost no sound from the tweeter. I swapped the speakers and there was no change. I even acquired a...
Hello I have this speakers for my setup in my PC, I know a guy, with a great reputation. He tells me he can improve speaking, changing the crossover components. Some changes, they are change the capacitors by Mundorf Mcap, and the speakers cable. The price is not very high. The model V4I or...
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody. I hope you've all had some good time with your families. I've had some great time home with the in-laws, and my nephews are running about as I write this :)
Just thought I'd drop a line and let you all know I scored HARD yesterday. My wife's uncle has talked to me...
