    A/D/S L710 problem

    I have a set of early A/D/S L710s. Cloth grills, square corners, no fuses on backs, screw terminals. They have foam surrounds and look to have been refoamed pretty recently. One speaker sounds amazing just as it should. The other seems to be lacking bass. The woofers are both putting out sound...

    Help rebuilding KLH 363 crossovers?

    Hi all, I have a pair of KLH 363's that I picked up from a thrift store for a song and they're, overall, in great shape. I've ordered the solvent sealant, treated the surrounds on the woofers, degunked the vinyl veneer, and now it's time for me to tackle rebuilding the crossovers. These are...

    Is a Crossover needed for full range woofers?

    Replacing woofers on my speakers soon. I was hoping to bypass the cheap tweeters in them as the Dayton Audio full range drivers I have in mind have a frequency response from 40Hz to 25,000Hz. Is it possible for me to simply delete the crossover and just wire the driver directly to the speaker...

    Blown 8 inch Paper Cone Woofers

    Hi there, I am new to the DIY stuff, but I'd like to save money this time around. I have a pair of Acoustic Profiles PSL 8.4 speakers, which I have just blown the woofers out of with, you guessed it, Telarc's 1978 recording of Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture. Turns out these had very cheap 8...

    Marantz imperial 7G recap

    Hi guys, I was gifted a pair of decent Imperal 7G's, and after refoaming I use them in my main set-up. Most forums tell me recapping the crossovers will improve the sound of these vintage speakers ( to an extent). So when I went to see what kind of caps I'd need, I came upon the following: I...

    Best capacitors for crossover - DLK 4 speakers

    Hi! I think it's time to replace the caps on my DLK 4 speakers. They're 41 yrs old, and I'm sure these are original.

    Recapped Tannoy crossover, a bit of static

    I just recapped one of my Tannoy Gold crossovers with Sonicap Gen 1's. Immediately it sounded great, noticeably clearer and better- but I am bothered by a bit of static here and there, especially in musical passages with prominent bass. Is this static a symptom of a not-yet-broken-in cap, or...
