  Hi Jay,
  
  Was that crossover built by Rick? I did not think he used Jantzen and Goertz?
  
  I have plans for a rewire of the my crossovers, possibly using some copper film PIO and would also consider a change to the coils, but Rick said (I think) that a different DCR could impact the performance... Any thoughts?
  
  Also, did the MLTLs sound dry with other crossovers? Interesting that Rick's crossovers might have contributed...
  
  Cheers,
  Raymond

    I wanted to understand your 3rd question re: parts and performance.
    Are you asking if different brand caps and coils but of the same values specified for the xover would change the DCR and performance of the xover?

      Sorry Jay, I often don't communicate clearly.
      
      I also have one of Ricks more expensive crossovers (different components to what you have used though) but was thinking that at some stage I might like to try different coils. But, I vaguely recall Rick saying that the DCR of the coils was important (though others think not, within reason). I guess I am seeking your experience and opinion to help me better understand the DCR issue...
      
      However, as this is related specifically to Rick's design and and IP, it is probably not appropriate to discuss it here. Would you mind if I PMed you to discuss further?
      
      Cheers,
      Raymond.

    Hi RC,
    Yes Rick built my crossover and I requested the Jantzen and Goertz parts because I have had very good luck with them in the past.
    I have used the Great Plains and Jeff Markwart crossovers and I prefer Rick's. It has the most balanced and non-fatiguing sound of the 3.

      Thanks Jay. I am very pleased to hear that Rick's crossovers have worked out well... non-fatiguing is essential for me!
      
      Hopefully my speakers are too far away now...
      
      CHeers,
      Raymond
