I rebuilt my speaker crossovers which only had a capacitor for the Mid and a capacitor for the tweeter. No resistors or inductors. I chose Duelund after reading Tony Gee's comparisons (see attached link)http://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/Cap.html. I changed the internal wiring to Vampire at the same time and also re-calculated the capacitor values with the help of Rodmann on Audiogon and the calculator on the following link http://www.apicsllc.com/apics/Misc/filter2.html#first The improvement to the sound was astonishing. Good luck. |
Wanna play around with what the crossover is doing electrically? Here is free circuit simulation software that runs on top of Pspice (if you care about that). Since it is a demo version it is limited to the number of components in the circuit. But this is usually more than adequate for crossovers. There is a bit of a learning curve but nothing you can't figure out pretty fast. When you build a circuit, you add a text to identify the nodes you want to probe, then run the AC analysis. It gives both amplitude and phase response graphs vs. freqency. Micro-Cap |
