ka7niq Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 If Hurricane Wilma dont blow Tampa away, I plan on changing all caps and Resistors in my original Forte's. Dean gave me a shopping list for resistors { I got Mills wirewound 1% 40 ohm 12 watters} And I bought all Bennic poly caps from Madisound. I really like the Forte's, and I am hoping this mod will "smooth em out" just a bit ? Anyone ever done this ? and how did you like it ?

colterphoto1 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Have fun, I just love surgery! Haven't played with xovers much yet, other than swapping some out. I'm finishing up my Walnut Decorator Heresies today! woooohooooo (theres a thread on them somewhere- I'll post new pix) soon.....

fmushkin Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Well, how'd it go? Any real change in the sound? Frank in St.L. (1987 Forte's) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ka7niq Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 Big Diffwance, OUI ? The Inexpensive Bennic Polyproplynes sound great, and ditto for the Mills 40 ohm resistors. I also did the DJK mod, that is I soldered the terminals too right to the x over board. At first it was bright and edgy, but after 3 hours of play, it smoothed em right out.
