What the heck did the seller do with the crossovers?
Looking For Advice After Dumb Vandy Purchase
Good evening fellow enthusiasts. Looking for advice after just making a stupid purchasing error. I usually do good research before making any transaction but I fell in love hard and got burned.
Just paid for some used Vandersteen Quatro for a "decent" price but failed to notice the purchase dis not include the crossovers. I live in the boonies so dont have a dealer handy to maybe just make my gear work without the crossovers, and it seems now the cost of new ones are a staggering $1295.00. This was for sure not in my budget as I am needing a couple of other pieces to complete this puzzle. Worse yet...once I take delivery of the Quatros...I wont have a way to even give them the once over sound wise to make sure they sound fine.
Any advice? I am bummed beyond all get out at this moment.

Does anyone have a schematic of the crossover? I know I can figure one out from there. For 1200 dollars a pop.. I'd be looking, and building, my own. I'm sure there is a workaround and from the pic I saw.. AND better than factory.. Full of Wima caps, from what I saw...They are good stuff, BUT, there is a better cap for certain applications in a crossover, no doubt. The straps are inline filters too? If so... that's PA stuff... Lots of options there... I saw an XO called "Sirl's Killer" too. Seems to be an alternative. Danny at GR research... He may have something... Regards |

If the M-150's input impedance is 200kohm, a 0.008uF or 0.01uF cap
as a high pass filter
will work. http://www.learningaboutelectronics.com/Articles/High-pass-filter-calculator.php#answer1 |
