Soliloquy 6.2 Very Poor Treble .....

Trelja, what a fun experiment. I jumped the 15ohm and just as you surmised, that was too much. I tried jumping the 6.2ohm and that was a bit too much as well. Jumping only the 4 ohm is noticeable but not too much. I have left the jumpers in place and sewn up the patient. I'll let it be for a few sessions.

The small Cap is combined with the 15 ohm Resistor at the Inductor. So any attempt to bypass it (Small Cap) mandates a bypass of the 15 ohm Resistor as well. Since they are combined at the coil and then rejoined at the positive tweeter terminal. Does this sound like a Zobel?

Trelja, thanks so much for all your help. This may have been the most productive and informative thread I have participated in to date! ...and fun too!

I have to agree, we are finaly getting somewhere.....Now we can get this system sounding pretty good..... Thanks Will

Yes, it sure is fun to play with this stuff! After a while, just from doodling, you get the feel of how changes effect the sound, and how this so - called black art, to be even viewed only by the chosen ones, is really something we should be dabbling in.

Maybe I am getting confused via my own stupidity, but it looked to me that the Zobel was the small capacitor with the 4 ohm resistor. If I was able to see it, it would make more sense for me.

Again, I wouldn't run a Zobel on the tweeter, but that's just me (the shamans can now appear to burn me at the stake). It sounds like you are jumping the 4 ohm resistor and seem happy? If the way I am seeing the crossover is correct, and the small cap is in series with this resistor, try jumping the capacitor as well to bypass the Zobel entirely. This may be all that is needed.

Please let us know what you think after a few days. Is this the added sparkle you were looking for, without irritation? If not, we can throw a quick design together that would lower the parts quantity while raising the parts quality. As you said, FUN!

I have changed the 4 ohm resistor to a 2 ohm for a couple days....I'll let you know what happens.....

Good morning Guys.

Autospec check out this site http://www.apicsllc.com/apics/Misc/filter2.html it contains some really good stuff.

Reverse engineering the circuit, it appears we have a 2nd order Xover, an L-Pad, and a Zobel all wrapped into one... and somewhat mixed about but I suppose the specific order isnt all that important.

How did yor sound change Autospec? Better?
