Mods for Avantgarde speakers

sdrsdrsdr, chris of vh audio offered to put my 2 caps for 4 days on a cable cooker. guess this helped a lot. they still needed several hundred hours to reach their max performance. you can put some stuff in the tweeter horns like socks, disconnect the other drivers and play music 24/7 without bothering anyone in the house.

maril555, this the the main disadvantage of the G2 series imo. I like the looks of then G2 series. they are also more solidly build but putting the tweeter into bass cabinet is not a good idea. maybe its possible to remove the tweeter from the cabinet and put it on top for time alignment???

Duomike,
Removing tweeters from the enclosure sounds like a major "surgery", I'm not up for it, at least not yet.
I'm wondering, if Avantgarde had a good reason to change the design, other, than "to save" on not having to make a separate enclosure for the tweeter.

Maril555, you could be right, it might be a major surgery. Not familiar with the construction of the new G2 series.
Believe their main reason for putting the tweeter inside the sub cabinet is 1) aesthetics and 2) reducing overall size and make them more acceptable in a domestic environment. there are many other things you can do to improve the sound of your speakers. see my post at the beginning of this thread. happy tweaking!

Hi Duomike,

the inserting of this room correction box should be ok. It's all in the digital domain & still using my existing DAC as an interface/volume control & all clocked too. It's the best one could do. All the cabling is top notch. So the least compromised way to test the time alinement without cutting up the trios!

I will listen to the system before time alinement to make sure there are no changes in the performance. Then get into the alinement/correction.

chadeffect, you would need 4 dacs and 4 amps to time alignment all drivers. of course the 4dacs should have a delay function build in so that you can adjust each dac individually. this means big bucks, a lot of additional cables, component stands etc..
better spend a few hundred bucks and get some stands build by a carpenter.
