Crossover install on Magnepan 1.7i
Some interesting points:
- Initially, it sounded bright but called GR-Research team and the explained the capacitors need at least 200h of break in, and after that time if I still feel it bright, they will help me bring it down a notch.
Cool! I had a pair of 3.7i. It would have been something to hear them with Danny's crossover.
I am going thru a second round of crossover break-in on my Wilson Audio Duette (I bought 2 pairs of crossovers). Both pairs crossovers are same parts as what you're using - Sonicap and same coils. I can attest that the capacitor break-in thing is real, and it takes time. My other pair of crossovers had really come into their own... I gave them to another Wilson Duette owner and put a "fresh pair" of crossovers in. Big difference between them. The broken-in crossovers became much more layered in the upper mids, but not at the expense of detail. The sound became more relaxed, but still had sparkle. Right now, the fresh set isn't happy yet... but they are getting better.
For the level, I can do the same thing for bringing the upper down (if I wanted). It's a single resistor to raise / lower the level.
Have fun. [/list]
