Good to see you here again. Did you swap out the CS 3.7 speaker for a CS 2.7?

Happy Listening!

Happy Friday! All

@jafant Thanks, I've never had CS2.7 (unless I wrote the wrong number in an old post). 

Have and love my CS3.7s. Good for a lifetime of wondering how can I make them even better without going bankrupt on the next AMP.  :)

Most crossovers use film caps in the HF circuit from the factory. In LF / MF circuits, I tend to replace same with same when I rebuild crossovers, figuring that where the designer used electrolytics they took the latter's inherently higher ESR into account in their overall design, such that replacing them with low ESR caps might alter the voicing of the speaker.

Total resistance of my new boards was within 0.1 Ohm of the OEM. This was not some haphazard replacement of parts. Nearly all of the design and parts choices, including board layout, were made by @tomthiel. My only contributions, other than the labor, were choice of resistors (which Tom cosigned) and hookup wire and binding posts (use of Cardas was my decision more than Tom’s). To my ears, any modifications to the “voicing” was well worth it :)
