    Infinity Kappa 9's - Goes against core design principals?

    Hi Audio-heads! Just got my hands on the original set of Kappa 9's I bought new in 1992. It's a long story, however the previous owner traced them back to me and the vintage audio-head that I am; I had to buy them back. Anyway, here's the bend... As its been posted correctly, these speakers...

    DCM Time Windows

    Just purchased a pair of Time Windows. They are in decent shape. One sock is deteriorating, so I plan to replace both of them. Due to their age I am thinking they could stand to have the crossovers re-capped. I am not sure how to get the speakers "opened up" to get at the c/o's. This particular...

    Am I missing something?

    I recently replaced the mid-ranges and tweeters in my 40 year-old speakers. Each box had a woofer, two mid-ranges, and three tweeters, all 8 ohms. Each of the mid-ranges and tweeters had their own simple crossover capacitor in series with the speaker and all of them were paralleled off the...

    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...
