zobal networks ?

I completely agree with the above post now that we understand where each other is coming from. For what some of these products cost, there should be NO cost cutting or "oversights" at all. Then again, MOST of the profit on these items is NOT made by the manufacturer but by the dealer. If things were slightly reversed, we would see better products and dealers that were more motivated to work with you. Sean

I tried the zobels and in my opinion they worked very well.
first of all clarity and detail are extremely noticeable. before the zobel there was a slight smearing in the treble and the midrange that is virtualy gone now. also i was suprised how much better the bass got very tight and musical. We did one speaker at a time so we could AB there was no doubt the zobeled one was better. One thing to keep in mind if you want to try this. The parts cost very little about $30.00 and if they don't work for you you can just remove them. Once again thank's for all your input!

Out of curiosity, what wattage rating were used on the resistors for the various units ? Did you "zobel" all of the drivers, just the mids or woofers, etc ??? Sean

Hi Sean,

Stan Warren said 3 Watts for the woofers, and 1-2 for the tweeters....

Here's a head scratcher. I had some Merlin-supplied Zobel R/C Networks for their TSMs and never liked them. The TSMs went in for an upgrade, so I tried the Zobels on a lovely little pair of Celestion 100s I keep for backup. Voila, the effect on these was fabulous. Highs very much smoother. Whodathunkit? I guess the word is try it.
