Why are my crossovers different
I've heard these older pairs were hand built, so I guess it makes sense the midrange  circuit of each speaker could be slightly different from each other.  
Why are my crossovers different
So going back-to what GS5556 said is it probable that Mirage Deviated from what the schematic said of 26.7 depending on what the drivers read. This would mean that each speakers crossover May have a different value depending on The drivers that it...

Stupid question, but can you do that on the board are no. I realize that it's the bundle that has be measured I just thought I would just add the values

I think i will buy  the meter and test the old caps, excerpt for the broken one and see if there all as labelled,  then I can get an idea where it was set at. Maybe the factory had this one a pinch above the spec

Also I can't measure all the original caps because the last one broke, it was damaged when I removed it.  It was the one with the stripes which came out as 1.5uF  I think

Here's something kinda interesting,  the 4.7 on my buddy's pair look identical in shape and color to the 6.8 that's in place of the 4.7 on mine.  It sounds stupid but I'm wondering if the gut putting it together thought it was a 4.7 but it was act... 
Why are my crossovers different
I looked at my buddy's pair and his are 26.3, two 10uf,  a 4.7 and a 1.5.Here's the question... can they be measured on the board. I have taken this crossover apart a million times and I'm not going to desolder  the finished crossover to measure e...

Also on the 25.7 crossover the 1uF cap it said 1.0m100v,  I assumed this meant 1uF. On the other crossover the 1uF cap had the stripes, I punched in the stripe code online and it said it was 1.3uF-1.6uF at 100v 
Why are my crossovers different
I think I'll just mirror the other crossover, any thoughts on this  
Why are my crossovers different
It's strange  because on the first crossover there is a 10uF, another 10uF, a 4.7uF and a 1uF, making 25.7The second crossover it had a 10uF another 10uF, a 6.8uF and a 1uF making 27.8These are only what is printed on the caps. Again the schematic...

Maybe the caps the factory used ware not accurately labelled. Question is, how accurate are the labels on the jantzen standard z caps  
Why are my crossovers different
So the allowable tolerance is 2%. I was just going on what was printed on the caps

Thanks I appreciate it

Eric, could you explain in a little more detail how you would make the jig and where you can get that room eq. Is the room eq in place of the meter measuring esr.

Fritz  was a really nice guy, smart guy.
