montana eps crossover ???

Hi Jb0194 and Chadnliz,

I sincerely doubt that Mr. Short from North Creek (funny coincidence, my last name directly translated from Danish, my country of birth - means exactly - "north creek") can install any better cross-over components than the EPS utilizes, both capacitors in the tweeter section are of the film and foil type, especially made for us - aluminium foil/ polypropylene film. The series cap in the bandpass for the mids are a combiantion of a film and foil bypass (10% of the value) and a metalized polypropylene film cap. All inductors are of the perfect layer type, large gauge where appropiate. In many cases a series resistance in an inductor is actually required and an integral part of the design

Yes -I aggee that diffrent components in cross overs may sound diffrent but that is just so, diffrent, not better.

I closing let me plaese point out that designing a Loudspeaker takes a long time, going through a lot of drivers, boxes, components and working with your suppliers to get exactly what you want and therefore at a considerable expense, the final topology of a cross-over I consider to be very propritary in nature and would therefore never release.

Thanks

Peter

If your intention is upgrading the crossover components, consider giving George Short at North Creek Music a call. His top line crossover parts utterly transformed a pair of loudspeakers I own. $800 was a big cost for crossover boards, but George fully assembled them leaving only slip-on/eyelet connectors to be attached to the drivers/binding posts. Absolutely the most cost-effective upgrade I've ever made to a system.

Yo PBN,
It is his business if he wants to check out the info right?

What do you intend to do with the circuit diagram if you got it ? All the drivers are propritary i.e. built especially for us and not available "off the shelf" so building copies are out of the question.

Drop me a note and I'll give you Peter's phone number if you don't already have it. He is great to talk to.

I did own these speakers for a couple of years. Peter is very accessible. I have talked with him on the phone; sorry I don't have his # since I have sold the speakers.(10 months ago) In my opinion these speakers were below par in the upper mid to highs; the low mid to lows they were great. What my opinion is based on: I still have all the same pieces,cables included. But, have had 3 different speakers,since. First up was the Lowther speaker to show me what was possible; then Merlin MM's---Then Wilson Sophia.---Each step a learning process in an attempt to get the top and the bottom I like, all in one speaker.
