| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil For my speakers I want to maintain as precisely as possible the original 1800Hz and 3500Hz crossover points. For the capacitors and inductors I will certainly maintain their original values, but I am wondering if I should be thinking too of the ov... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil K2,Thanks for your response and your experience is certainly something that I will keep in mind if I don't like the results of my first iteration.John | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Tom, thanks for your response, that certainly makes the crossover more straightforward. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Gentlemen,Subsequent to my earlier post, I noted that Clarity MR is available in 7.5micF, so my question would come down to whether it is better to use two of those or a single 15micF?Thanks,John | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Gentlemen,For my crossover one of the required capacitor values is 15micF, which is an available value in a single Clarity MR.However, I came across a website (reference and excerpt below) in which the author said that for values above 10micF it i... | |
| Speaker crossover mod. Your advice? Bryon,I just want to add that I respect Face's experience and would heed his advice.John | |
| Speaker crossover mod. Your advice? Bryon,I had missed your crossover pictures and apologize for my oversight. Magfan is absolutely right, there's certainly not going to be room on that board for any of the caps I've been discussing, and most likely not in the speaker enclosure eith... | |
| Speaker crossover mod. Your advice? Bryon,I don't have any experience with mixing caps from different brands. However, there's a lot of information in that Mundorf thread I mentioned. Those guys talk about mixing caps of different brands.On 11/29/10 Undertow talks about his cap mix ... | |
| Speaker crossover mod. Your advice? Bryon,I was just reading the white paper linked on the Madisound webstite for the Clarity MR caps. It mentioned that intermediate values are available upon request. You might be able to order a 3.6micF from them. That may be the same case for the ... | |
| Speaker crossover mod. Your advice? Bryon,I don't have the experience or confidence to change capacitor values, but that is an 8% difference you are considering. The Mundorf M-Cap Supreme line has 2% tolerance. You can read some reviews about caps at humblehomemadehifi, and also Goo... | |
| Speaker crossover mod. Your advice? One more comment though, after reading your cap values again it is the woofer values that are the really big ones. Maybe it would be okay to just replace the midrange and tweeter caps as it's the inductors that would play the more important role w... | |
| Speaker crossover mod. Your advice? Byron,There is another thread on Audiogon which might be of interest to you, "Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil." It's a long thread but it logs the journey of several members who ended up with Duelund Cast crossover components. Those are very e... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Tom,Wow! That is a generous offer, and thank you. However, I would hate to see you or your friend go to any trouble since I have not decided upon a metal enclosure but rather saw some when looking on the internet and was curious, although instinct... | |
| Be-718 owners, what sub are you using? I don't use a Be-718 speaker, but Canton subs are fast. You might want to consider the Vento. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Tom,Thanks for your reply. Below are a couple of the comments I found on another forum that had me thinking that I should stick with a wooden enclosure:"...I think you are right about the enclosure. It is a Faraday box. Any magnetic fields inside ... |
