organ Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Hi all, I finally took the x-over board out of my 82 Cornwalls and inspected the capacitors. Looks like they're going bad already. The big oil caps have a tiny amount leaking on the leads. The stock caps are 2uF/100V, 3uF/100V and 20uF/100V. I looked around the net but can't seem to find those exact values. I want to try Auricaps and the closest match I can get are 2.2uF/400V, 3.3uF/400V and 18uF/400V. Do you think the Auricaps will still work within the x-over's range? I'll also need help with proper polarity of the caps when I get them. It's only been one day and I miss the Cornwalls already. I have the RF-35 hooked up right now while I work on the Corns x-over.

rodbrunner Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Hi there! I have a set of Klipsch KG 4 speakers that are mated w/ a pair of 30 W Monoblock VTL amps. The whole thing is powered by a Sony ES Preamp. They were purchased in Mountain View CA from Luke Manley in 1990. I love the efficiency of the speakers w/ the low power tube amps, but I understand the speaker crossovers can be upgraded, especially in the crossover caps and resistors. Please send me any information or kit upgrade info you would like to share. Thank you, Rod Brunner Phoenix, AZ rodbrunner@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
