| Free air resonance? Hello Dr,Would you then reccommend that I leave well enough alone? I should note that an amp designer (the one who designed my amp in fact) replaced his Hales T5's Vifa's with the same Millenium tweeter that I am going to get. He did remove the .3... | |
| Free air resonance? Does that mean that since I'm going from a tweeter with an fs of 1500 to an tweeter with a fs of 600 that it is a good thing? Do I have more versatility with the tweeter with the fs of 600? I ask because this is what I'm going to try.I'm going fro... | |
| Hales owners discussion I've recently upgraded/modded the crossovers of my T5's with really good results. I have a new bigger better Hales without having to go through the hastle of selling my old Hales. I just modded them and they are completely different but in a good ... | |
| Installing Cardas Litz Cable? Thanks Hepl,I actually had to remove the enamel Litz with a blade and sand paper. It took a bit of work but I got a good solder.The sound is better now that I have a good connection. It was a bit of work to remove enough enamel to have the solder ... | |
| Will I notice improvement with crossover mods? The H881 did not fit in my Hales so I decided to order the Seas Millenium as they are the correct size(110.4mm) to fit my Hales and they are supposed to be quite good. They are costly however. As I crimped the leads to my tweeters I can always try... | |
| Hales T5's Vifa's $ ohm or 6 ohm? Gregm , The 25TG30-04 are too small physically for my speakers. I think they are 104mm and I need 110.4 to avoid major cabinet work. I went with the Seas Millenium as they are the correct size and I hear they are pretty good.Dawgbyte, I upgraded m... | |
| Hales T5's Vifa's $ ohm or 6 ohm? Not too loud. Just the same inbalance between tweeters as since when I first got them. Nothing blew. I am looking to upgrade to a high end tweeter with the hope to balance things out and upgrade at the same time. I'm getting the Seas Millenium but... | |
| Crossover mods and speaker efficiancy? Herman, The speakers do sound better. I am listening quite a bit louder as it sounds good. It's as simple as that. My speakers sound good.I in fact used higher guage coils(12guage woofer, 14guage midrange and 16 guage for the tweeters). I have my ... | |
| Crossover mods and speaker efficiancy? Jond, I did not do it myself. I have trouble installing light bulbs.I had a tech do it for me but I ended up waiting for 4 months till he finally did the work and that was only after I bought the parts privately and took them to the tech and said ... | |
| Crossover mods and speaker efficiancy? Thanks for your responses. This morning at 6 am I decided to listen to music but had to keep the volume down as my wife and daughter were still sleeping and I realised that in fact I am listening at louder volumes than I used to when it doesn't di... | |
| Will I notice improvement with crossover mods? The tweeters I've ordered are the Seas H881 which I hear from a good source are supposed to match well with my speakers. Of course they are only a $28 tweeter but they are supposed to be OK for the Hales. I heard from a designer who had the same H... | |
| Will I notice improvement with crossover mods? Thanks for all your well wishes. The speakers really are sounding better by the minute and I've only had them plugged in for about 24 hours. I have a lot to look forward to. I'm replacing the tweeters to a pair that I know will work well as the pe... | |
| Will I notice improvement with crossover mods? I got my speakers back today and at the advice not taken by an expert I decided to give listen immediatelty. I was told to wait a few days before even listening but I found that impossible to do. It worked!!! The sound is different and I'm sure wi... | |
| Which CD Player? Talk Electronics or Shigaraki? The talk electronics thunder3.1b is pretty good.I own one which I changed a classe cdp10 for. It may be better than average seperates at that price point. | |
| Alpha Core vs Solo inductors? Thanks Gmood1 ,I already have the coils but 4 out of 5 of them are Solo and one is Alpha Core. The Alpha Core looks mighty pretty and the Solo's look crappy but I'm getting the impression that they're both around the same sonic quality with some p... |
