Yeh they are very good resistors, can i ask why you have three 'ESA' & just one 'MR' caps?

Couldn't get the right values in MRs for where the SAs went, dude, otherwise there'd have been MRs fitted throughout :)
Marco.
Nowt wrong with ESA's. Great value for the dosh.
They are indeed, Ali. I've used them in a number of applications, and achieved great results. Hovland Music Caps are good in crossovers, too.
The best results I've ever heard with caps, though, were those SCR Teflon ones you recommended, which I fitted as coupling caps in the Croft. Man, what a difference those made! :eek: :)

They look cracking Marco, I look forward to hearing them one day.
On your listening room and bearing in mind it's a dedicated listening room, I'm surprised you haven't you haven't covered the walls with wave absorption tiles, or at least hung something up like a throw. I can see that the roof cuts in at an angle which does help remove standing waves, but given your depth of investment have you considered spending on the room?
Great speaks BTW, I love Celestions - of all budgets. I grabbed a £10 pair of little Celestions from t'Bay a few years back. They had metal tweeters and they sounded super crisp! Can't remember the model number (had a '7' in it) but I do know they were cracking little boxes.
Just that the Celestion '7' had metal tweetipiesQuote:

No, sorry, no Sondex units this year as I'm doing a 1970s system. I'll follow this with an 80's system next year though, which will mean the Sondexes have a place alongside lots of B&O!Quote:

It may have been a '4' then. :) They were in black ash, grey baffle, tweeter was a metal dome behind three or four horizontal bars and set in a grey moulding. Quite a large bass driver, wider than they were deep (which helps to age them a bit). Single wiring.Quote:

You'd be welcome for a sesh-ette anytime. Perhaps come sometime in the summer with Esther and we could make a weekend of it and show you the sights of North Wales? :)
You're absolutely right regarding room treatment. I've done bugger all in that department, quite simply out of sheer laziness due to the fact that I'm getting a superb sound already. And when I'm in there, I just kick back and listen to music, without worrying about hi-fi stuff.
Living in an old house with massively thick walls and irregular-shaped rooms with beams, etc, I'm sure helps greatly with acoustics, although I'm certain that some room treatment would improve things even more.
I just have to motivate myself to be arsed! :eyebrows:
