Hello all:
I have an S8R set up ( LE 15A ,PR15A, 375, HL-93 horn/diffuser,075, LX-5 and n7000) in a Soverein cabinet (about 5 cu. ft.) I am not happy with the sound of the midrange. It is very sharp sounding, and a bit horny, not quite "hiss and spit" but close. I have been reading much about these elements and crossovers on this forum and that has encoraged me to try and replace the N7000 .(I would like to attack the LX-5 but I am intimidated by the center tapped inductor) This would mean essentially building a new one using currently available components to the original schematic. However I have read several accounts these crossovers are perhaps not the best configuration to copy. I have looked at the various schematics of other more modern JBL crossovers but did not find any that use the 375/075 complement. (perhaps that should be a clue!) Does anyone have any suggestions or should I try the existing configuration and parallel the caps with small caps like some of the later models? Experiment ?
Thanks for reading and the replys,
Doug
