I know Loudspeakers , verywelland themost neglected parts
are the Xover network. The parts quality is like a stock engine in a car or aFormula 1. The majority of manufacturers use average
parts at best. And capacitors wear out and will make the speakersound lifeless. I lookfor value as well as Quality when rebuilding a speaker worth doing. For example a speaker with
quality build ,and drivers will compete with Loudspeakers several times their cost if you rebuild ,properly the Xover with quality parts
and rewire it. There are a lot of factors. Value for inductors
Jantzen Waxed Copper foil can compete with the best of them
for much less $$ fortop end, and midrange Bass a solid Open coil,
Resistors only 1% non inductive. I have seen cement junk white resistors in $10k speakers Why ? Capacitors the cook book
that what I call the professor TonyGee Who helped me several times while living in Europe. His Humble homemade Hifi capacitor
test . Tony has tested and rated the vast majority of Capacitors
pin the market from basic ok which Many companies use like Solen .personally I would not even use them in the Bass unless
bypassed. I wrote to Marten Logan after owning their products
in the past on how for just $400 dramatically improved their newline over $10k with better midrange capacitors. And if you go to their webpage it shows their $80,000 flag ship ,using
inexpensive midlinewhite Mundorf EVO series ,
when in fact in a speaker this expensive it should have at least
Mundorfs top offering . Vh Copper Teflon ,as well as Duelund Silver foil in oiled wax paper caps best caps for bypass caps I have used .Jupiter Copperfoil another great capacitor .
i have all 3 in my speakers as well as best Bypass caps for quality value which I have on every capacitor the Cornell Dubilier .01uf
3,000v caps . The Reason Tony Gee recommends these is the high voltage rating thicker windings and copper in part of end caps
less resistance better clarity. Bypass caps are not justgood for the top end .these caps are a perfect case and point .The new upper Clarity line CSA ,CSA great value Bypass them and then a Duelund Silver foil Great results just for a example,Jupitercaps are a bit richer everything is about what spice or flavor are you looking for . Your electronics will get exposed if not up to the task .
have at least quality system cables ,and power cords ,and power isolation also.
Dulunds cast best caps or one of in the World. I don’t own any
you need the room ,Huge ,and very expensive ,build an external Xover ,or very isolated for best audible results. I do a lot of what many would call exotic.just to prove a point I bought the new Monitor Audio Studio Stand mount with matching stands for under $2k . Why Their drivers are a version taken from the midrange of their $25k flagship lots of potential .I put $1400 into parts just in the Xover and wiring . With their W-12 subwoofer .it can hang
with many speakers over $10k. With excellent prat and resolution .
theirs your answer do your homework and look to a friend or professional it’s what you can’t see that truly counts.
