Back to the Valencia 846B or Heathkit AS-101 driver replacements.

First the link to the Heathkit AS-101 assembly owners manual as I have not seen that posted to this forum before.

It appears to be a Russian site and I have downloaded the individual .jpgs of each page. I can post these .jpgs separately in the name of posterity if desired.

I have decided for now to use Selenium 220Ti drivers for my 811b horns in my AS-101s. I will recap the existing crossover and replace the HF pot with an l-pad. I have spent some time looking at many threads on many forums and there has been alot of work with new drivers and crossovers for the 811b horns.

It doesn't appear (or at least I have not found it) that there is, as of yet, no "finalized" "simple" fix for the existing 846b / AS-101 N800-k crossovers utilizing the D220Ti drivers in 811b horns.

Looking at all the work that has been done, it appears that the D220Ti requires HF compensation, but to a lesser amount than the BMS 4550 / 4552 drivers on the 811b horns which has been tested and documented.

Therefore, in addition to the recap and l-pad it appears that a modest 3 db HF compensation is all that may be required as an addition to the N-880-k crossover so I propose this:

Please comment.
