In Reply to: Have decided to replace the original, wrong tweeter x-over posted by jeffreybehr on August 23, 2015 at 01:47:39:
...(FOF being 'first-order filter') for 3 days, including getting my golden-eared buddy (who hears lots better than I) over today for a couple hours, we decided that the FOF sounded not just good but REALLY good. Ended up with 5.6uF into 8 Ohms, the latter including a 4-Ohm dropping resistor, altho I'll try it for days with a 6.8uF cap, too, before soldering anything. I have enough 5-star-quality SoniCap Platinum (Teflon-alloy-film-and-tin-foil) caps* for either value...
...so maintaining 5-star quality in a pair of high-value caps will not be a problem.Here's a rough filter barely soldered together...just a cap and resistor.
Probably I'll also replace the tweeter wiring, currently a multiple-gage cable wound from Neotec solid-conductor UP-OCC copper, with Neotec 22g. solid silver, and add a 23g. pair of the silver to the current MR cable, a trigage version of the tweeter cable.
* The big 6.8uF cap is a preproduction version which is why it's white and not black. Both of these examples are well used. :-)
