Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

I'm sorry, but my circuit is different. I really don't have any axe to grind here.

I still haven't had time to check the diagram, but I remember it did not have three 120 uf caps on the woofer circuit. Maybe it was two 200 uf, but doing the same thing. I do remember debating removing them altogether, but I was told they were there to protect the woofer in case of a malfunction of the amp. Since I have never had or even known anyone to have that kind of a malfunction, I wasn't worried. In the end, I decided to leave in the big caps.

After careful comparison to what I heard at concerts, I decided the biggest thing lacking for me in the 105.2s was the extreme low bass. I added Hsu subwoofers that were down 3 db at about 40 Hz and dropped 12 db/octave above (as I recall), and they made the low bass very nice. The subs were flat down to 20 Hz. I now only use these speakers as rear surrounds in a five-channel SACD system. They are an OK match in this use for the Vandersteen 5s I have for fronts. The 5s are simply in a different league from the Kefs.
