Well it's been two weeks of listening since I installed the new Sonicap's and either the cap's burned in or my ears did.The harshness seemed to calm down after a few days but didn't go away.The upper end still overpowered the bass witch wasen't the case with the old caps. The only way I could comfortably listen to them was to turn the bass trim up about 4 notches. This may also have something to do with the very large listening room with cathedral ceilings that I have them in. After reading all the posts about P-traps i decided to give them a try. I built P-traps with .10 Perfect Layer inductors and 3.0 Dayton Audio Percision 1% cap's. After installing a p-trap on one speaker I was instantly impesssed. The midrange blended back into the rest of the speaker. I inslalled the p-trap in the other speaker and have been enjoying music all weekend.The K-horns now sound balanced and musical but still very detailed.They are now a pleasure to listen to and I can't turn them off witch dosen't make my wife very happy. I'm just wondering if I would gain anything by useing 3.0 sonicap's in place of the Dayton's since the rest of the crossover is all sonicap's. Thanks,Rob

Just found a blown tweeter in one of my KLF-20's. I see there are titanium replacement diaphrams available. Should I upgrade to titanium or stick with the original poly? are the titanium's supposed to be smoother?

I just got done rebuilbing the crossovers in my 78 Klipschorns and KLF-20's with Bob Crites sonicaps. Both pair's of speakers now sound kind of bright. There is a high end ring,especially with SACD's. I seem to have lost some of the warmth of my Mcintosh amps. Is there a burn in time for the new cap's or am I just too accustomed to the old laid back sounding cap's?

Looking for a used Mcintosh preamp/processor. Anyone have an opinion on the mx 132 or 119.

THANKS FOR THE INPUT. I'M NOW LEANING TWORD THE MAC'S. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THE MAJOR DIFFERENCES ARE BETWEEN THE MX132 AND MX119?

Replacing my Yamaha RXV-995 with a Mcintosh MC-7106amp. UsingK-horns,KLF20s and KV4. Looking for a warm smooth sounding preamp/procesorto complement the Mac amp for under $1000 used. Considering B&K,Anthen,Emotiva,Outlaw.
