I have had the tweeters playing free air half the day... all I can say is I cant wait to get these speakers back together lol- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Sweet!
Does the extra volume taken up by the upgrades affect mid/low end inside the cabinet? -
Hmm, not really. Since I distributed the networks over all three enclosures, won't make any difference. If I had packed it all in the bass enclosure, I think that may have presented an issue.
But I am going from over 30 ft of internal wiring to under 10, so much less in the way- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -

Coming along nicely Trey

Thank you!
Hard to get any feel for sound with the mid and tweet only. The lower woofer actually reaches fairly high in the spectrum, but I can tell the mid and tweet are blending very well, which I like.- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
Rebuilt one today, using the Quadrax and dh labs wiring is a true bear, adds substantial time for sure.
Didn't take to many pics because I was excited, haha, will take more pics on the second one.
Can't wait to get the rest of the caps in though

Received a threatening email earlier that after 16 weeks I would receive capacitors this week. How dare they! (I cant wait!!)

Nice Trey. I wanted to see more speaker/room colors so I modded the pic.

Wow did you make those?

I had them made by digital deck covers
Cut the cleaning needed on the speakers by 95% and they are padded as well for some protection- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
I've been contemplating covers for my adcom 5802 and oppo 205. Are those the double quilted premium covers Trey?
-
Yes, you wouldn't regret it, great product- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Since the maker of diffraction be gone is no more (i guess) 0 I tracked down a similar felt sold by Grainger...
The Mezzo utopia has 2 diffraction points on the tweeter baffle where the aluminum meets the wood. There is a small lip, maybe 1/32" of an inch... I placed a 1.5" wide piece of felt at this break on each side and the difference was what I recall diffraction be gone doing. The high end really cleaned up, well worth the $10
dont worry Jody, Ill include some in your box of goodies to play with! haha
