Deang Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Thread with pictures over in "Updating Older Speakers". I kind of made a mess with the thread, but I have it straigtened out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile homeless Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Great work. Looks like one of the caps in that old tweeter was an old Jensen oil. Was it? Cant see. AGain, nice work, Dean. Those speakers worked GREAT for classical with some serious QUALITY watts behind it. Glad the Aragon 4004 II is doing some nice stuff with the AE-3. kh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted October 25, 2002 Author Share Posted October 25, 2002 Hi Kelly, If you are referring to the small caps along the edge of the board, tied into the "spool of thread" -- that's actually the part of the circuit controlling the response to the piezo. There were no markings on those caps -- but they appeared to be mylar. Incidently, those were the only two caps I really splurged on. I replaced those two caps with film and foil, instead of polypropolene. I figured I'd give that piezo all the help it could use:) Someday down the road, way down the road, I'm going to build another set using dynaudio drivers. Steve from Layne Audio has quite the design for bringing these into the 21st Century. Fairly pricey, as you can imagine with his driver selection. BTW, using the DQ-10 to play Classical music is a complete waste of a good speaker. Last night, with the SVS sub kicked in, I rattled every joist and rafter, and shook every window in the house with Peter Frampton, The Moody Blues, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, and Fuel. I'm going upstairs later to listen to some very old Judas Priest on the horns -- and give my ears a well deserved rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCturboT Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Dean, How do the DQ-10s compare to your RFs? Last time I heard a set of Dahlquist DQ-20s I was pretty impressed (about 15 years ago-where does the time go?!) Whatdaya think of the "new" Judas? how'bout Halford?
