| Why not put crossover networks in accessible compartments? Thank goodness the dismal science doesn't rule everyone. | |
| How much does a Zobel network and its components affect the sound of speakers? As I stated, I already have the Dueland networks -- the Merlin Master RCs. Evidently some people have replaced the Dueland caps with Jupiter, however, no one has responded to my queries as yet about the difference in sound. In one instance, a chap... | |
| How much does a Zobel network and its components affect the sound of speakers? Rich, My MMIs are Serial numbers 4168, if that tells you anything. Your information is interesting, but it tells me nothing specific about how the RC networks and their particular components affect the sound, nor anything about how swapping compon... | |
| How much does a Zobel network and its components affect the sound of speakers? To reiterate, the speakers sound better with the Zobel networks engaged. The networks consist of a Dueland capacitor and a Caddock resistor. What if I changed the capacitor, say, to a Jupiter copper foil and/or the resistor to a Vishay Z foil? As ... | |
| How much does a Zobel network and its components affect the sound of speakers? I am experimenting with placement, however, this doesn't address my basic question which is, How much and in what specific way does the Zobel network and its component variables affect the sound of the speakers? | |
| How much does a Zobel network and its components affect the sound of speakers? I considered that but it's an expensive upgrade, expensive enough to consider replacing the speakers altogether, not least of which because of the time required to open the sealed enclosure and remove and replace the extensive bracing. Instead, I ... | |
| How much does a Zobel network and its components affect the sound of speakers? Audiokinesis... no, "my bad." Thanks for your input about off axis energy, I'll check it out. | |
| How much does a Zobel network and its components affect the sound of speakers? Rereading my initial post, I se that it was misleading. If changing the networks could eliminate this minor issue, I would be pleased, but I'm not expecting it. What I'm looking for is a little more body, relaxation and air. | |
| How much does a Zobel network and its components affect the sound of speakers? The edginess is minor and infrequent and not an issue I'm particularly concerned with. I mentioned it in passing. I brought up the Zobel network as a possible simple and inexpensive performance tweak, like a duplex outlet. The edginess I cited occ... | |
| How much does a Zobel network and its components affect the sound of speakers? Moreover, why has Merlin Audio (now defunct) experimented with their network components, before settling on the Dueland/Caddock combo? | |
| How much does a Zobel network and its components affect the sound of speakers? The parts are wired in series, the network itself is wired in parallel, "bridging" (as corrected) the tweeter terminals. If they impart no sound character, why have some people commented about an improvement in exchanging components of the same v... | |
| How much does a Zobel network and its components affect the sound of speakers? Anybody out there replaced their Merlin RC networks with something else? | |
| How much does a Zobel network and its components affect the sound of speakers? Fyi, I'm currently running a ss integrated. | |
| How much does a Zobel network and its components affect the sound of speakers? I'm less interested in playing with values than playing with components. I am hoping for some insight into what impact it might have. | |
| How much does a Zobel network and its components affect the sound of speakers? Correction: BRIDGING the tweeter terminals |
