Tom offers excellent advice as always. Yes, it is possible to damage any driver from a failed XO. More to the point, a power amp clipping is certain to damage any driver.  Good to see you here.

Happy Listening!

Thanks guys. This info is helpful and will guide my decisions regarding next steps to take with my 3.6s. Think I have a lot to discuss with Rob G. - and some Google searches to do re bankruptcies

Tom and All,
I hope you all had a great weekend!

This was the response I got from Rob regarding the aluminum caps on the 3.7s. "All CS3.7’s incorporated an aluminum cap. The earlier versions were anodized black, and there were some cases of the anodizing turning gold in color. The later CS3.7’s incorporated a Black Powder Coat on the caps, which would not change colors. I don’t know the serial number in which this change was made, but it was around the #800 serial number. No sonic issues with either version."

just received this from Rob as well:  "hi Kent,  Hope everything on your end is going well. I did some research, and here is what I found. In January 2007 the CS3.7 was introduced (original version). On Jan 12 2008 revision 1 was introduced at approximately serial number #517,18. On October 4 2008, revision 2 was initiated at approximately serial number #881,82. Revision 2 is the current layout"

 

Thanks,
