Vandersteen 5A's Internal crossovers/batteries

I recall the classic Infinity IRS Epsilon used two 9V batteries per loudspeaker to bias the joining point of a series/parallel set of capacitors in the tweeter network which is said to noticeably improve the top end.

I used Energizer Advanced Lithium 10 Year backup battery and mailed my crossovers to Vandersteen and they did the soldering for me. I don't think they charged much. I don't need to change batteries for another 10 Years . I suggest you use the same batteries.

Thanks for all your help. Yes I agree that the soldergun tip might be too big. So to be on the safe side. I will buy a new 35 watt iron from Radio Shack and Silver solder from Music Direct.

Thanks again,

Alan

I just took the crossover and amps out and sent them to Vandersteen for him to repair them. It was done right with no chance of screw up. The speaker is too valuable for error.

How much did Vandersteen charge to replace the batteries
for the pair?

Thanks for your help
