XLS Encore Crossover Verification
« on: 1 Oct 2022, 01:33 am »
I am building the crossover's for my Encores and just wanted to verify that I have it correct before I solder everything together.





Thank you, Kelly

Thanks for pic.. Is that the base kit or the updated one?  I'm a newbie

Looks good. Maybe just double check resistor values before you solder to be safe. Enjoy them. I just finished a base kit model with tube connectors a couple of days ago and they do something special. The imaging is remarkable. I still need more hours to let them settle in but from the first song I was like….where are the speakers.

They completely disappeared. I have a pair of older Spatials. The 15” woofers are great for the bottom octave but man the Encores are nice to listen to especially if you like imaging and soundstage, which I do.

Anyway. Enjoy!

I just got everything together. Everything went together and it sounds good, even before burning them in. I appreciate the help!!







Thank you, Kelly

Those look great!

Now all you have to do is go into your gallery, edit that pic and rotate.

Looks great. What did you veneer them in?

It is white oak veneer.

Thank you, the build was super enjoyable! Now I realize that the subs I am using will not work with the Encore’s, they are not anywhere near the same level. I see a new build in my future.

Thank you, Kelly
