Assuming the new crossover is broken in, modern capacitors and resistors of the exact same values will change the sound, sometimes significantly. It's possible you're used to your original sound and the new parts aren't to your taste. This may be even More true if the crossover topology has also changed. The single most important factor in choosing audio gear is to know your self, especially the factors that must be there and the negative factors that you can't stand. If you don't know yourself well, changes are a case of throwing darts while squinting.
Problem Solvers Needed-Got my New XOs installed and am worried....
I think I made a big mistake. I loved the sound of my 1988 Tannoy FSM Dual concentric 15'
speakers. So I thought an expert could analyze the existing XOs and make improvements.
I installed the new XOs expecting a 300-400 hour burn in period. Herein lies the problem.
After 30 hours or so the initial sound has no high end to it. I expected to initially hear sound as good as I had
which would continue to improve as the burn in continued. But no.
I am tempted to reinstall the old XO and kiss off the $2k invested.
I am very open to some suggestions from anyone who has been down this road.
Thanks,
