Imhififan,

For fun and a further learning experience you should try replacing what certainly appears to be steel fasteners holding your crossovers in place. I would do only 1 at first as my guess would be an imbalance left to right. Probably need to settle  in for 12 or more hours. If you do hear an imbalance or change in response then do the other speaker to match.

My preferred fastener is brass a non ferrous material.Steel will bend the intended field of flux.

I did this 20 uears ago replaciing steel fasteners with brass in and around the crossover of my Dunlavy SC4.. Then replace the cast resistors for Mills or Path for simple and quality upgrade. TomD.

The pure by clarity caps is not being produced in 14 and 28uF.

I've sent an email asking if they would do custom made caps and will let you know if they do... 

On a somewhat sombre note.. I've managed to kill one of my coaxes (SCS3-N) 🤦🏻‍♂️

I really do hope Rob at coherent sound can either fix it (those units were 700 Euros a piece at the time) or fix me up with a new unit as he already has with the SCS's.. 

All the parts are ordered and/ or one the way, but this little accident is going to delay things a tad..

I'm not concerned with how big the capacitors will turn out to be, as I'm not going to stick them back in the cabinet. They will be fixed on a board, outside the speaker, with a bi-wire coming from the board into the 2.4: for this I'll need to put two more terminal posts at the back..

Cheers

How hard can I push the radiator on the 2.4?

It seems to be a bit more than I've already applied and I don't want to push too hard ( I've the feeling it's glued tight..)

From Rob Gillum:

“The [Cs2.4] crossover can be accessed through the passive radiator opening. The base is not removable, as it is screwed, and glued. To access the crossover, you must remove the passive radiator screws and let the passive radiator drop into the cabinet. It can be rotated 90 degrees, and removed while servicing. To re-install the passive radiator, you can place your fingers at the surround, pressing outward to hold in place while re-installing the screws that hold bit in place.”

It is not glued but it is a bit of a puzzle to orient properly to get it out (and back in).

Hi everyone.

I've been reading this thread for some time. I was encouraged to improve the performance of my beloved Thile C2.4.
I started working on XO and I thought about putting them externally. This is the preview of my work. 

Soon, I'll be doing some listening sessions
