No Problem Scott, I get private messages fairly often from Agon members. Send me an email and we’ll get you through this easy enough. 
Crossover circuit; Hales Reference Revelation 3 speakers
Scott,  a couple of things,  first, since you have this apart,  pull the mid and try to play the mid without the crossover connected.  Lets make sure that the midrange are not damaged.  Next,  its about a 95% chance that the cap that burst is an e...

Do you trust Audiogon?
I've never had a problem purchasing here, I have bought a couple and sold a few,  but I've had offers with strange accompanying emails,  when I forwarded those to Tammy, she replied very quickly with a history of this person on audiogon with solid... 
Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music
If these Mono Blocks were mentioned, I haven't seen them.  My choice in Solid State would be: SST Ampzilla 2000 Second Edition.  https//www.sst.audio/new-products/ampzilla-2000-second-edition-single there are a couple of reviews at the bottom of t... 
Not enough power what does it sound like?

The most fun you can have in audio is DIYing your own speakers
@riley804 These are my favorite bang for the buck kit out there and they sell out as fast as they get them in.  They have recently raised the price.  You cannot buy the drivers for the price of the kit.  These are designed by one of the best in th... 
Ed Martin: Marcof
Hi Vinyfan62,    I've learned a lot from Ed too.  I've had some legends that know more that I do tell me face to face the same. I could name them, but don't want to embarrass Ed or them.  Ed has never gotten the recognition that he deserves. He kn...
