Focal Tweaks


If you own Focals I encourage you to try two things which worked for me:

I. Put a PSA felt ring around the tweeter.  You can buy premade from Maddisound, or buy PSA felt sheets, and stamp a perfect hole out of them with a hobby stamper.

II. Replace the film caps with Mundorf MKP or Clarity CSA caps. Wait 72 hours for the MKPs to settle in.

Best,

Many years ago I tried Felting around a tweeter and didn’t like the results, so perhaps it’s not a universal tweek. I would be willing to try it on my new speakers but the copper beryllium tweeters are in a very small waveguide which would make it harder.

A pair of speakers I now use in My HT system has the entire front, top and bottom wrapped in leather, so perhaps that has the benefits.
