    ML-1C Dampening Material ?Question?

    I have a pair of ML-1C speakers acquired last year that I plan to recap the crossovers on. I have the caps and resistors and material to put the woofer back in with a proper air tight seal.

    Crossover prototype with cheaper components

    Dunlavy Audio Labs Archive - From the mind of a "Legend"!

    I noticed that we didn't have a central site for discussion and archiving of information about what, I believe most would agree, was a legendary speaker line from a "Legendary" designer. I think we also would all agree that it takes some special capabilities and insight to become recognized in...
