super nice

Great, I would love to hear your thoughts about the book.

That's a beauty.

Well, at least TOP BACK is labeled.

30’s? Maybe Belle herself lived there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Deerslayer!

Both subs and money went further back then.

wow

Now it says $3200. Way too much, I think, but WOW those are beautiful. I always loved the look of Belles.

Those are beautiful and that's a DEAL.

Congratulations!

You know better than this @Edgar. As detailed in a different post, paralleled resistors sound better. What are wires? Resistors! When you start getting into parallel theory, though, you can't use 1.414x, you have to switch to the golden mean. "Golden mean or gold wire, your choice!" is what I always heard. But I'm known for hearing things, so use caution with my advice.

They're pretty. Are these yours?

BUMP Nobody? Ok, I get the hint.

If you think paralleled resistors sound better, imagine more than two! We postulate that using a prime number of resistors sounds better. 2 and 3 sound good, 5 and 7 sound better, and 11 and 13? Look out! My mentor @CECAA850 told me this little trick.

Can't you just disconnect one of the zener diode wires and re-test? It is under a screw, simple to do.

My Emotiva amps are still for sale. Just sayin’.

@MookieStl is one of my mentors and once again has good advice.

Sorry, but jumpering across them will not tell you anything except that you have good jumper wires. They are paralleled across the tweeter. Jumpering across them would cause the signal to at the tweeter to disappear completely.

BTW, If Dirac is named after Paul Dirac,then I’m pretty certain you’re pronouncing it wrong. It isn’t DIE rack, it is DIR ack or perhaps DEER ack

I will attempt layman’s terms... The zener diodes are the two things on the metal bracket in the center of the photo above. Each of them has a wire that goes to the tweeter part of the terminal block. Disconnect at least one of those wires. Those devices clamp the signal going to the tweeter should there be an overvoltage transient, thereby protecting the tweeter from damage. That’s the idea, anyway. The can go defective and that could affect the frequency response. Some people don’t like them in the circuit at all. I’m not certain what parasitic effects these might have during normal, correct operation.... you might not get exactly the same response when you’re done between the center / right and this one once you take the diodes out of circuit. If it fixes the gross curve error, you probably found your culprit. Please post results

Here are mine (yes, they are pulled out from the corners):

BTW, the ones for sale are these (for posterity, these are NOT mine).....

Wow, those are mates to mine!
