The picture I attached is 4365 crossover.
Have no idea how it’s compared to 4367. It’s very normal components, nothing fancy... but that is probably the case for most crossovers.
You are the one who keeps saying the 4365 crossover is not any good, yet have yet to articulate what the perceived problem with the crossover is.
Point blank: What is the issue with the quality of the 4365 crossover? And I don't want a reply of "it's not good", give specific points relating to the issues with the crossover.
My understanding is the uhf device has an acoustic crossover point of about 15 khertz.
If your over 50 you will be lucky to hear that. The uhf driver is to please the Japanese market. That is why the horn is run all the way out.
As for the comb filter effects it’s subjectively not an issue at these frequencies.
I think the original crossover is good as it is. I have replaced some resistors and caps as you can see on the pics, and I feel that it maybe was a small upgrade. Just after the modification I was convinced it was a step forward, but after a while I’m not so shure. Maybe because I’m getting used to it ?
( I think that Valhalla internal and external speaker cables, was a bigger upgrade)
I have no complaints with my pair of 4365's......
Careful man, there's a beverage here!
Can you elaborate on your listening environment and your listening position.
I raise this as the acoustics can contribute to the perception of brightness.
If in fact you feel the measured and subjective concerns correlate then consider some EQ. If you have a digital signal path this is not too difficult. This assumes modifications to the room acoustics or changing the loudspeakers position is not an option.
No one loudspeaker is going to satisfy all tastes all the time. Try disconnecting the uhf device.
Lastly it’s possible that the loudspeakers are analytical to the point they are exhibiting the characteristics of other components in your system such as your power amplifiers. Cables can also have an impact on the voicing of a system overall.
I bring these points up because sometimes there are one or more contributing factors.
I have listened to the 4365 although not for an extended period.
On the crossover parts in a system at this level the parts are selected for the system as whole to function and perform to deliver the end result. In the diy space you have flexibility to change out parts for alternatives. The results maybe different but not necessarily better. Unfortunately more transparent parts show up more deficiencies in the signal path and recordings.
If you were involved in the development of the loudspeaker and you were familiar with the acoustics and amplifiers and other components used and you continued to use the system under these conditions then it’s unlikely you will have any concerns.
