ka7niq Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 I have CF 4 speakers, the originals with 5 inch ports, version 1, and also have CF 3 version 2 w/ 3" ports. I am in a very small room, and on the better recordings, the CF 4 is wonderful, but it is voiced for a much larger space. Is it possible, and if so, HOW, to place a resistor across the horns Bi wire terminals, or should I go into the crossover, and if so, WHICH resistor do I change ? I have tried using a 4 channel amp w/ level controls, and this allowed me to do this electronically by adjusting the level of the amp channels hooked to the horn in a bi wire mode. IF I simply threw a resistor across the bi wire terminals of the horn in the single amp mode, would that do the trick, or would it change the crossover point ? Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowooo Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Try posting that in the 2-channel forum, should have good luck with it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Garrison Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 I'd try mailing Al K. and tell him exactly what it is you are trying to accomplish. He might have a suggestion, though I dougt he's had any experience with that crossover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do what I want using bi amping w/level controlled amps on the horns, but that adds unneeded complexity. I want to get a big screen, and I dont have room on top of big screen for a bunch of amps, etc. The CF 4's are a wonderful speaker, if the recording is wonderful, in a large room. They will float a wonderful soundstage, but they are voiced for a big room sitting far away. I now live in a small apartment, and just need to temporarily re voice them to better make them fit my less than optimum living arrangement.
