    Cap in the + side of the cable (not that it's crucial). Solder the cap to the tweeter + (often marked red) if it has solder tags and connect the + (pos) side of the cable to the cap, then the - (neg) of the lead to the other tag.

    Don't short any speaker terminals!!
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I start with larger value caps and work down until the tweeter is almost indiscernable.

    Don't worry about sensitivity matching. Say your speakers are 89db for instance, a 95db tweeter will still be ok. It rolls in at 6db/oct on a single cap, so if it's just audible, any excess output will be well beyond human hearing.

    What tweeter were you thinking of using? There are many that work well.

    ok so how do i work out the starting point with going large and downwards? if too big a cap is used what happens?
    at any point doing this is there a chance the speakers will burst into flames?? lol

    im going with the same one mark used in his ns1000 as its proved to be a good combination,im sorry to say all the db and techy stuff just goes over my head much to mu annoyance .

    There's a uk guy, Lansr, selling JBL M2's for £6500 over on Lansing Heritage. I tend to part them out especially in the case of the vintage JBL drivers I've used in the past.
    The closest you could get to these s/h would be K2 S9800.
    At some point soon I'll be selling 3x pairs of Tannoy 3833/36 drivers and crossovers for either Arden Legacy or system 15 diy projects but the JBL's are all keepers..

    That's the problem with trying to buy some. Nobody ever bloody sells them! It isn't even easy to buy them new here and their internet presence is, and I'm being charitable here: Confused.

    Very oddly run company.
