| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Houstonreef,just open the 2 screws to remove the back cover. Then remove the internal cable (clip on connectors). The xo circuit board is screwed into the 4 binding posts. very easy to remove. believe the duelunds are too big and won't fit the boa... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil the standard duo uses 2 x 2,2 uF mundorf supreme caps. I replaced the 3,3 uF silver/gold mundorfs in my omega dup with teflon v-caps. the improvements are dramatic. the tweeter cap has a huge influence on the sound and I'd like to suggest to buy t... | |
| combak harmonix 909 spike bases I have the 999 spike base under my Avantgarde Omega Duos. Made them sound much more like music und less hi-hi. Very expensive though | |
| Summer Power Woes Yes voltage sag. also got problems with low voltage where I live. A Pure Power regenerator fixed that problem perfectly! | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers that's true. it's a mundorf cap with a 3rd wire which is connected to the cpc circuit. still a teflon v-caps without that circuit sounds a LOT better than the biased mundorf cap!This thread is getting very quit. is everybody busy tweaking their av... | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers sdrsdrsdr, agree,less digital anything is always better. As an alternative to v-caps Duelund cast are also supposed to be excellent. Someday I will try their cast inductors in my tweeter xo.Chadeffect, try the magic box if you like but I'm sure it... | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers Triode, my name is not Jim but would like to comment anyway. Don't drill any new mounting holes into the tweeter housing. Believe you are using Duos. If that's the case you can do as my friend did: hang the tweeter with some belts underneath the m... | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers sdrsdrsdr, digital filters may sound better than the analog ones they are replacing, depending on the quality of the analog parts. I was shocked when I replaced the Mundorf silver/gold a few years back with the v-caps. Could not imagine how much m... | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers chadeffect, if this clever unit got 8 separate analog or digital out you still need 4 dacs and 4 stereo or 8 mono amps. there is NO way around it.I have a tact rcs since '99. I'm not a fan of room correction at all. don't use it since several year... | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers chadeffect, you would need 4 dacs and 4 amps to time alignment all drivers. of course the 4dacs should have a delay function build in so that you can adjust each dac individually. this means big bucks, a lot of additional cables, component stands ... | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers Maril555, you could be right, it might be a major surgery. Not familiar with the construction of the new G2 series.Believe their main reason for putting the tweeter inside the sub cabinet is 1) aesthetics and 2) reducing overall size and make them... | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers sdrsdrsdr, chris of vh audio offered to put my 2 caps for 4 days on a cable cooker. guess this helped a lot. they still needed several hundred hours to reach their max performance. you can put some stuff in the tweeter horns like socks, disconnect... | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers chadeffect, I'd strongly adv against inserting another box into the chain. beside that box you DO need separate amps and dacs . the improvement of aligning the tweeter with the mid is rather large. my friend who came over recently and who also own... | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers Hornguys, I agree with your comment re butt ugly. my solution with the wooden blocks certainly is but I don't care. I don't have a problem with reflections from the midrange horn. have measured the response before and after time alignment and ther... | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers sdrsdrs, look forward to hear from you about the soldering tweak. this clip on connectors are bad for sound, not only in speakers but electronics as well!had some wooden blocks built for the tweeters which I have put on the 225 subs which allow me... |
