No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need
By the way, in the car audio world for speaker wire thicker is always better just harder to hide.

cleeds1You're right. I don't think that would make a difference though.OPI was and am serious. I have easy access to wire and really wanted your advice. I am in the car audio business and I have a good crimp tool and I can terminate. I plan to try...

OPThe ml3 has select able DF 100,200, and 300 at 50Hz. The ribbons are from the Infinity IRS. Actually I am tri amplified, another ML3 and a ML9 on the top. I can run active or passive on the crossover and  do switch back and forth if any of that ...

OPYou mentioned earlier that Ribbons are an exception. What would you recommend for a Mark Levinson ML3  with a 12 ft run to a ribbon array?Thank you 
Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker
@bdp24--- That sounds exactly what I am looking for and at a price I could handle. When you say give him a ring do you mean call Pass Labs? 
Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker
I was following your thread  and saw your comment on electronic crossovers. I agree with you on the advantage an electronic crossover has H\however I am having a hard time finding a crossover that sounds as good as the passive on my system. I ...

You are right, there are also 4 1700uf caps. After I replace those 8 caps should I stop there? There is no other sign problems and the amp works well. I am not trying to be cheap there's just a lot caps left. 
re capping
Everything looks good and the amp sounds good but it's a 1987 and I don't know the history on it. I have a Chinese ESR meter and a regular capacitance meter and so far every cap I test has shown good. The amp has 4 36000uf 100volt caps that are to...

When you recap a 30 year old amplifier do you change the big power supply caps or do you replace all of the circuit board caps?  
Vandersteen 2CE Signature II: Is it worth the price of $2700? Why are so many for sale?
How do you know the age/series of the speaker. I bought a used set that say 2Ce and has his signature on the terminal plate. Is that what they mean by signature? 
Why are the Infinity IRS, Reference 1b, Beta ect speakers passive on the mids and highs?
I am not familiar with the Triangle Celius, but the rest are awesome speakers. I also like the Magnepans alot. I am not sure which I would pick if I had to make a choice.

Hi timlibThe Richter scale crossover is changeable through a chip. I have lots of values for it. You can even make your own crossover point, they give a formula in the manual. The other audio control is not an epicenter, I made a mistake but it us...
