| Need suggestions for a $1500 used system for my daughter....... Bill, Here is a link to a Canuck Audio ad where the seller just sold a pair of Osprey that he modified. Note that he replaced the mid drivers with a better Scan Speak driver. He also modified the crossovers. I emailed him to ask him if he had k... | |
| Need suggestions for a $1500 used system for my daughter....... I don't know the cap or resistor values. I owned the Osprey about 15 years ago but they were stock. That was before I started getting into the the crossover tweak mode. I recall reading somewhere that it was beneficial to upgrade the crossover ... | |
| Need suggestions for a $1500 used system for my daughter....... Bill, If you're going with the Meadowlark Osprey for your daughter, you might consider upgrading the caps in the crossover before your daughter hooks them up. | |
| DYI upgrading B&W N805 to Diamond 805? When I pulled the factory caps and resistors out of my N805 speakers, they matched exactly with the values from the manual. | |
| DYI upgrading B&W N805 to Diamond 805? Alex, I provided a link in my above post to get the manual for the N805 which shows the cap and resistor values. Here is a copy from the page: 1) LF CrossoverR1 5R6 11W Ceramic Wirewound BENNIC ResistorC1 6u8 250V Polypropy... | |
| DYI upgrading B&W N805 to Diamond 805? The Mills MRA are the best "bang for the buck" resistor for a crossover. The Claritycap MR series are also excellent and will far outperform the ICW polypros that B&W put in there. What's interesting is ICW makes the Claritycap line. The cur... | |
| DYI upgrading B&W N805 to Diamond 805? I have a pair of N805 in a second system that I recently replaced the caps and resistors only in the crossovers( There are two crossover boards in each speaker, one for the mids and tweeters and one for the woofer). Huge improvement! I didn't touc... | |

| Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them? I spoke with Robert Lee at Acoustic Zen recently because as I was attempting to extract the crossover boards out of my speakers(Adagio), there was so much hot glue under the boards that I damaged the boards to where they were no longer functional.... | |
| How can I punish this Chinese audio dealer Yes, if Chinese dealer isn't responding, get Paypal to intervene. Note: Not all Chinese dealers are bad. I bought a defective Psvane tube from a Chinese dealer and he told me to return defective tube. Once he received tube he would send new tube... | |
| Acoustic Zen -- Tsunami II OR Tsunami Plus Alycat, Try it on both and see where it sounds best. I'm assuming it has been previously used so I would give it a few days on each component listening to familiar music. Have fun! | |
| How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else? I think that Reference 3A speakers are time and phase aligned. | |
| Anyone listen to the new Audio Horizons VRX preamp? As far as I know, Joseph Chow is a one-man show. His marketing man, Victor Comerchero, passed away back in 2014, so I don't think Joseph has replaced him yet. Joseph told me his primary business lately has been tuner mods and upgrades as well as u... | |
| Anyone listen to the new Audio Horizons VRX preamp? Yes, I still own his original TP 2.0 preamp, but I have modified it somewhat to make it sound much better. | |
