HeritageBob Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Looks very nice Dean. Now another cap has been thrown into my interest mix. I was going to buy Hovlands for my Chorus II crossovers per Leo's advice and condition them somehow by finding a DC power supply. But now the Thetas seem interesting if I dont have to run any DC through them first. Also I have been looking at the Auricaps too, they seem to be a little cheaper priced than the other caps and I like the way they sound in my Scott. Either way they all are made in the values I need..6uf and 2uf. Tough decision but the price of the Auricaps is pulling me that way. Anyone have good results with them in Crossover applications?

Kartracer77 Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 DeanG Have you done any KLF-30 crossovers? Any plans on doing some? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted February 11, 2004 Author Share Posted February 11, 2004 I can do this with any speaker, I just need the original boards and terminal cups. You can PM/Email if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how to describe it, but cymbal crashes and bells sound more real than they ever did, less white noise type shoundsh. The Mids are smoother, but I did not notice the huge change as in the HF. --------------- Review updated. The mids are much better. What I really noticed when listening to Patricia Barber Cafe Blue tonight was that the echo is wetter. I use that disc to test how the midrange on a speaker replays the reverb and echo. Last year I made the mistake of listening to some Meadowlark Heron's and was astonished by what I wasn't hearing in my Forte's. Specifically in the echo department. Since I can't affort $6,500 for those two speakers I've been trying to replicate it the best I can without breaking the bank. (Sidebar, I was also able to repeat that wetness on some Soliloquy 6.2's. The 5.2's and 5.3 wouldn't do it either. Neither were any of the Paradigms that I tried.) I can say the that Forte's now are much better at recreating that magic midrange than they used to be. They're still not perfect, but at 1/6th the price I wouldn't expect them to be. Maybe the next step will be tube amps to try to sweeten them up some more. I'm much happier now, but we'll see tomorrow. The reason I pulled out that disc again is I am headed off to audition a used pair of Heron I's with a friend. He's thinking of bringing them home and might need my truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
