I can't find the Tannoyista website so I guess you aren't making these any more?

A couple of people contacted me wanting NS-1000M crossovers but they had completely failed to appreciate the cost of building these things.

Whilst messing around using cheap Monacor caps and resistors in my otherwise ESA and flat pack resistor crossovers, I found that my valve amps actually really seemed to like them.
However, they sounded shite via the Accuphase M-60.
Really curious, and it just shows there aren't really any rules.
The ESAs were all still in I was just modifying the circuit using a circuit simulator. Still needs a bit of work on values TBH. Can't be arsed and haven't been arsed for a while now. I will get round to it though.

Interesting thread , i have tried a 4.7 uf clarity cap mr for the tweeter, and replaced it for a jantsen silver z cap , which was a bit more sharply etched
and gave me what i wanted , i also tried the jantsen silver z 4.7uf in my nick Gorham phono stage and it was awfull sounding , it needed to be more
warm and smooth , i had clarity cap sa in there before which suited it better , i think its all about what you are trying to achieve , i have clarity cap esa
for the midrange in my crossovers 4x22uf so can be expensive , i have thought about changing these but decided to keep them thinking that they are
at the end of the audio chain and unlikely to hear any difference, i don't think its worth spending to much on the bass cap , phil.

Why such focus on 'warmth', Moore? Does your system or speakers sound bright, and so you're trying to compensate by using 'warm' capacitors?
If so, there are better and more effective ways of addressing that problem!
