Congrats. I have the CF3s V1 too!
-
I have the CF 3s v1 for quite some time and maybe 10 years ago I sent the crossovers to Bob Crites for a rebuild. It’s been a while but I do remember that is was an improvement in sound. I believe he told me at the time that there appeared to be some capacitor leakage. Any ways, maybe something worth looking into

I think I like the Cambridge better

I have the cf3s version 1 and had the crossovers upgraded by Bob Crite a few years back and couldn’t be happier with the results.

Thanks for the link, I didn’t see it until now. I thought I signed up for auto emails when the thread updated.... guess not.

Thanks. I’m specifically looking for SACD payback and therefore the SA8005

I definitely thought the tweeters were less harsh after the dampening, less rattle from the speaker boxes because they were stiffer. After the Crites refresh of the crossovers, the speakers seemed to have more clarity. The improvements weren't drastic but noticeable for sure. For me the harshness in the tweeters was most irritating.

Those are a sweet pair of speakers. I have them also in oak and did the bracing, dynamite on the horns and had Crites update the crossovers.

WTB Paradigm X 30 or similar unit. Thanks

I have the CF -3's version1's with several mods based on some great feedback from this thread - bracing, dynamat on the tweeters, and had the crossovers updated by Bob Crites. I also ended up refinishing them. I recently upgraded to a marantz AV 8802a and power these bi-amped with Parasound 2225's v2 and boy do they sound awesome. Wish I had an opportunity to grab the cf-4's but I am completely happy with the sound.

I had a 9090DB and had it fully restored, I only have high praises for it. I had to downsize and free up some space and it was time to let it go. I was maintaining two seperate systems and the amount of equipment and speakers I had was a bit much, I still regret getting rid of it........ definitely a fine piece of vintage audio.
