| JSP Brand Speakers (Japan Brand) I had not heard of them before, but went to Google and couldn't find any info or pix. I typically won't visit sites the are not secure. Good luck. | |
| Replacement capacitors exploding Cakyol - Thank you, knowledge is powerful. | |
| Thoughts on Active/Passive Speakers? Looking for pros and cons. Most, if not all, speakers are designed using active crossovers nowadays. Passive crossover speakers can sound very good, parts cost $$. But if they were left as actives they would sound even better in my opinion. My 2¢ | |
| Poor quality control crooked driver +1 erik - If it ain't broke don't fix it. | |
| Thoughts on Active/Passive Speakers? Looking for pros and cons. mijostyn - This is fiesta75 or maybe there is a fiesta25 too. I've been active crossover bi-amping for a couple years longer, but that's not the point. Seriously, you should know by now that an active system is superior in ALL resects, that kinda ... | |
| Do I NEVER shut it off…? g_nakamoto - Standby is actually like off. If you want the best sound a 1 hour warmup should be fine. | |
| Thoughts on Active/Passive Speakers? Looking for pros and cons. Nope, not at all. You bypass the passive crossovers entirely. Eliminating resistances of the inductors and phase shift and delay of the caps. Solid wire between voice coils and amplifier outputs. You can still use you DSP for corrections if you li... | |
| Melos repair Could you describe the noise and when it occurs? Is it only when you move the cord or jack, or is it noisy all the time? | |
| testing a crossover CORRECTION, sorry. The last test on the mid/hi amp terminals on the crossover board; when I asked to to test and then reverse the meter leads and test again. The multimeter should be set on the "diode" test mode, not ohms. The readout should displ... | |
| testing a crossover Which resistor, if it's STILL showing a dead short or 0.00 ohms? This is the one mentioned in post 6-16 @ 12:59am | |
| testing a crossover Okay, its been a rough couple days. I just got done drawing the schematic and looking at the words and measurements again. Just one note, do all measurement in the resistance mode, not in the diode mode as the diode mode really doesn't tell us any... | |
| Thoughts on Active/Passive Speakers? Looking for pros and cons. There seems to be a big disconnect here. An active speaker design is a system which includes amplifiers, drivers and an active crossover. What I am talking about is an electronic crossover or active crossover which distributes the correct band of ... | |
| Thoughts on Active/Passive Speakers? Looking for pros and cons. fuzztone - Huh, I don't get it. If your comment was for me, I said passive crossovers will protect drivers better. Since when are actives built to matched amps? | |
| Bi amp and bias issue Yes I know it is. Your opinion George, everyone is entitled to theirs. If your amps can't handle the current, change amps. Add a resistor if needed, but adding resistance will be detrimental to the high frequency response. I like accuracy, that's ... | |
| testing a crossover pragmasi - Yes, sorry for being an SA. You are absolutely correct, one needs to take one step at a time. I'm waiting to see and help if possible. |
