RE: 3.6s can play LOUD!




Hi,

My friend built new XOs for me with hi-end components, Goertz coils, Janzen SilverZ/Superior and Obbligato caps for mid and high, Erse coils for the bass. He measured all the parts and the specs are following the original design very closely albeit there are some differences because the XOs are more efficient now with greater transients, the so-called Q might be a bit different too.

Anyway I hear only improvements and this stage of tweaking - with the Mye stands - is absolutely satisfying for me. I simply don't have the money to go the Marchand way of active XOs, having been unimployed for the last years. I could afford these XOs only because Neuro went active and I got his passive parts for a song and my tech friend didn't charge me for his work.

Wazoo, what you are saying about LOUD - this seems very strange to me. I don't play THAT loud. Twice in the distant past I went to rock concerts that left my ears ringing, the last time my ears were still hissing even the next day - so I quit going to rock events altogether. My ears are my best feature I guess ;-)

Still I cannot follow Al's logic. I wonder how my EARs misbehave because there are distorted (??) bass transients? All parts of the XOs stay at room temperature, how could there be a "leak" of bass energy to the ribbon? Logic indeed??

This gets "stranger by the minute" (Porcupine Tree) ...

Cheers, Jörg.
