Crossover component upgrade, DUELUND????


I am in the process of researching the components in my Dunlavy IVa speakers and have narrowed my choices down to two companies. I am looking at Mundorf M-CAP SUPREME and M-CAP DILVER FOIL IN OIL caps. I am also looking at Mundorf for the MOX resistors.

The second company I am looking at is Duelund Coherent Audio. They make a GRAPHITE RESISTOR specifically designed for crossovers. They are able to build the resistor specifically to replace my speakers parallel resistor values with one component rather than the 2-4 pieces presently used. This will (somewhat)help offset the very high price point for these resistors. These are sold through Part ConnecXion and factory direct. I have been speaking to the factory and we are also discussing their very different design for capacitors. I am presently waiting to hear back on the cost for the values I require.

While I wait, I was hoping that someone might have some experience with these products. I am very impressed with the design concept behind both the graphite resistors and the flat foil capacitors.

I have used Duelund parts throuhout the crossover incredibly good but expensive .On my new speaker the Difinitive technologys Mythos-ST the crossover is a excellent design with rubbish Xover parts . I have found the Jantzen Superior capacitors to be a little better than the Mundorf Supreme,and I also used the Jantzen Silver for the smallest value to throw in a little extra air and
precision to the tweeter, The Duelund are a hair better at 5x the cost. The resistors the Duelund are the Best they just get out of the way of the performance and priced reasonably.
For 6 caps and 8 resistors $250 was a small price to pay for the Huge improvement , please remember on average only 20% actually goes into the electronics you have , with speakers 25%,I worked in Audio sales many years ago
this is a fact this is why for a minimal amount of moneys you can transform your equipment ,and I found a Genius
of a technician that has worked for several electronics and speaker companys with 35 years experience ,far better than any so called Modder I have found .He does not advertise and is allways busy his reputation speaks for itself,I am enjoying every minute of it !!
