  1. Very nice descriptive comparisons. Once the schematics are up I may give it a shot!
  2. Thanks for the explanation, although I don't understand all the technical details, I get the gist of what you said. I can certainly see the difference on the curves. I did do an A/B comparison with the old block cap hooked up in one and a new in the other. Sometimes there wasn't much difference in sound, but other times it was very apparent, such as acoustic guitar and some vocals. I would say the one with the new cap sounded a bit 'boxy' compared with the old cap. I'll probably keep these relatively stock, but would definitely try the mod if I run into a second set of these. Interestingly enough, my 4x's have the tweets in phase with the woofers(green wire attached to wiper, and yellow to #2) they're not the super early cross hatch woofers, but must be shortly after. I'll probably start another thread soon to document some of the differences on mine.
  3. First of all, great thread Dave! I have a simple question. Since your suggestion here is so simple here, why didn't the original designers do the same thing? You mention that cost was a big factor in the design, and this wouldn't cost any more for materials or labor. The only thing I can think of is 20uf caps were maybe more common or cheaper at the time. I'm not saying the original design was better, I will probably try these when the designs are complete. This is just the first thing that came to my mind when I read this. Thanks!
