Review: Dunlavy Audio Labs Dunlavy IVa crossover modification
Dronepunk,Are you asking about the crossover of the Dunlavy SC-IVa? Cheers,VPN 
Krell EVO-1, FPB-750MCX or EVO-900
I agree completely. There are many things that are necessary to make the 750mcx achieve their full potential:a) Each one with a dedicated 20amp lineb) Directly into the line, no power filtersc) 220Vd) recapping by a Krell dealere) top amp stands s... 
2 Krell fpb700cx or Krell fpb750mcx
I had the Krell dealer perform the recapping of my 750mcx monoblocks and also install furutech power cable connectors, so I will be trying different power cables.  
2 Krell fpb700cx or Krell fpb750mcx
Also, the Krell Phantom is much better than the KCT.  I compared both in my system and bought the Phanton which I had for several years. Recently upgraded to CH Precision L1+X1.  
2 Krell fpb700cx or Krell fpb750mcx
I had a 700cx and upgrade to 750mcx monoblocs.  Worthwhile improvement!  Make sure you get them new capacitors and put them in top amp stands.  https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/795

Hello JD, Following you footsteps I changed the tweeters of my Dunlavy SC-VI to top Seas Crescendo and it was a great upgrade, very similar specifications, sound much better.  I also vastly upgraded the crossover with Duelund. My other components ...

Grannyring, Could you share some good sources of quartz reptisand? I could put an inch or two of it in my external crossover boxes and have the tone wood with the crossover parts/circuit rest on it. Thanks,VPN

Ricevs,You crossovers will likely be top notch. I have an electronic engineering degree, so I can appreciate the concepts you mentioned. You mentioned that I need better speakers. Well, if I hear any that are better than my modded Dunlavy SC-VI, I...

Ricevs,Ricevs,I liked the First Watt B4 concept of having an attenuator select so either the low pass or the high pass, only one, uses an attenuator. The other one does not have an attenuator in the signal path. Makes sense. I, for example you use...

Regarding active bi-amping, I tried for several months, with a Pass XVR-1 (upgraded pot to Dact), and two pairs of Kell fpb 750mcx. Tried many alternative settings, with one pair driving directly the two 15" woofers of each speaker, and the other ...
