| The use of equipment as "tone controls" Eweedhome I agree with you.......and I've been listening to high end speakers for 30 years!Out of the dozens that I've heard, I can count on one hand (with fingers left over), the speakers that sounded like 'music'!I really blame speaker designers... | |
| TW Raven Acustic AC Owners Dgad,Go and police some other threads and don't tell me where to do my postings. You might also like to re-read the posting questions and my initial answers?There are very few on this forum who have structural and acoustic qualifications or experi... | |
| Harshness in tweeters: the price of transparency? I think that you must be clipping all three of the amps you mention.There is simply no way that with their output and your speakers' sensitivity and your listening levels, that you are not!?I'm surprised that the tweeters have not 'blown' yet as m... | |
| TW Raven Acustic AC Owners Isanchez,Do you know what cyclic loadings are?....I doubt it as you fail to answer the question on your qualifications?And prey tell what 'cyclic loadings' have to do with a cantilevered wall shelf?Just to dispel your other inaccuracies for any re... | |
| TW Raven Acustic AC Owners Isanchez what is your profession?Your talk of material fatigue displays an ignorance of structural principles.Apart from ' metal fatigue' which can occur when metals approach their elastic limits after repeated cycling of loads, there is no materi... | |

| TW Raven Acustic AC Owners Mount the TT on a shelf firmly cantilevered from the wall. Sound is transmitted it 2 basic ways: AIR-BOURNE STRUCTURE-BOURNE 90% of audiophiles mount their TTs on racks sitting on the floor. This is a disaster for both types of transmission. Even ... | |
| What capacitor values? Thanks Rodman,You're the only one in 3 forums to actually help me and not disparage my speaker's lack of X-over and suggest I keep the drivers and trash the cabinets.It's amazing how some people can so clearly ' hear' a speaker from its specificat... | |
| What capacitor values? The Mid starts to drop at 5K Hz as you say so I think a 5.6uF on the Tweeter would bring it in at 4740Hz.Any risks in that? | |
| What capacitor values? And a 3.5uF on top should bring the tweeter in about 7500Hz.Is this OK do you think or should I be aiming for lower than this? | |
| What capacitor values? One final question Rodman,If I change the cap value on the Mid/Woofer from 10uF to 40uF, what is the possible risk/downside as your best guess? | |
| What capacitor values? Thanks again Rodman.Whilst the formulae indicate that with the 10uF on the Mid it should only come in at 2000Hz, it patently doesn't.The speakers have always sounded effortlessly brilliant as all my audiophile friends agree.I don't want to mess wi... | |
| What capacitor values? Thanks Rodman,The Tweeter is 6 ohm and the Mid/Woofer is 4 ohm.The Tweeter at the moment has a 2.2 uF cap and the Mid I believe has a 10 uF cap.Should I stick to these values? | |
| What capacitor values? The reason I may change them is that the Scanspeak Mid/Woofers and Tweeters were substituted a year ago for the original Hokutone drivers.Whilst they sound OK, their characteristics (eg impedance and X-over frequencies are almost certainly differe... | |
| Loricraft Record Cleaning Dgad, I also have the TW Hannl and agree with all your comments except for the supplied fluid.I found it left my records with audible clicks and pops and disappointed me immensely.When I changed to the L'Art du Son fluid, things were much better. |
