    Emerald Physics 4.7 passive crossovers - known mods/fixes ?

    Hi there, I just got my first OB speakers, Emerald Physics EP 4.7. Boy, that's real 'think different' ... or rather - out of the box :) Mine did come with DSP 2.4 module, programmed for single-amp bass extension - I don't plan to use it with my vinyl/tube setup. I do want to accomplish similar...

    Inductor Style Combinations in Crossovers

    In the options of inductors, folks often choose between the air core, the solid core and the toroidal. There are benefits and drawbacks inherent to each. What I have not seen or discussed anywhere on the web is the mixing of these styles in series for crossovers. Eg, solid core with an air core...

    Ohm Acoustics model H woofer DIY project

    Hello. I recently picked up a pair of Ohm model H speakers in VG physical condition. It was clear that the woofer and passive radiators weren't original, but what I found when I opened them up surprised me. Refoam jobs and cabinet restorations are about all I get involved with, so this DIY...

    Yamaha NS-344 Speakers The Definitive Thread (Maybe)

    After benefiting from the work of others for years, I've finally decided to give back to the community. I recently purchased a set of vintage Yamaha NS-344 speakers off eBay. They're in really good condition but I noticed when listening that the right midrange speaker wasn't producing much...

    Single resistor in series db loss?

    Greeting all. I have an 8ohm mid of which I'm looking to build an 800hz-2900hz 1st order band pass. I have what I need on hand, but only if I add a 4 ohm resistor to make it 12ohm. If I do this, approximately how much db will I lose? The only charts that i can find is for fixed L-pads. Thanks!

    Hey guys, I've got a pair of Polk Monitor 10 (or is it 10a? All I know it has the Peerless tweeters) I know that it's past time to change out at least the electrolytic caps in the crossover, but I need to find the schematic.

    Rodgers Studio 2 Monitor Crossover

    I am rebuilding a pair of Rodgers Studio 2 Monitors, I understand these are rare with less than 100 made.

    Advent 5012 crossover issue

    I am having an issue with my Advent 5012/W's (1983 era - no tweeter switch) after a crossover change. The old 7uF electrolytic in the tweeter was replaced with Jantzen Audio 0.22uF 1200V Z-Superior and Dayton Audio 6.8uF 250V polypropylene caps. The old 32uF electrolytic in the woofer was...

    KEF 107 Upgraded Xover, Size and impact on speaker volume

    Having in mind to recap the crossovers of my kef 107, opening the cabs to have a look at the woofers crossover, i had the surprise (surpise might be an understatement, the shock might be more appropriate) of finding an upgraded crossover with Solen capacitors. The seller did mention that the...

    McIntosh ML-1C midrange and tweeter / crossover replacement / repair

    I posted a thread a while back looking for some insight on how to repair a set of McIntosh ML-1C loudspeakers. There wasn't much I could go off so I tried to contact Mr. Russel on the topic but I only got vague responses. Eventually, someone sent a picture of a pair someone else rebuilt. I ended...

    Vandersteen Model 1 crossover

    Came across this burned resistor in a Vandersteen Model 1 crossover. Can anyone tell me the value of this resistor? It measured 12.7 ohms but since it may not be up to spec I hesitate to put a similar one in there. And the color codes seem way too high for the value. Anyone? Thanks.

    QLS-4 Crossover Slope Inquiry

    Anyone happen to know the crossover slope design spec for QLS speakers (assumes they are all similar)? I may have to either rebuild my QLS-4 crossovers, or consider having new ones made. The tech sheet specs include everything except the slope spec.

    Hollow Log Speakers. Yep, just what it sounds like.

    Spoiler alert. Finished product: And yes, there are two of them. Let me get at least some of the obvious jokes out of the way first. I'm sure you will come up with more. They have a very NATURAL sound but its a bit HOLLOW. This summer I have been building speakers instead of just...

    $14 Goodwill steal; Yamaha NS-A100 3-way speakers.

    Me and my father visited Goodwill today to find some main speakers for our living room home theater. We have a big living room, so big speakers are a MUST. We found a pair of these Yamaha's for $29.99, with 50% off dropping it to $14. So we thought, why not? It certainly has a big, loud...
