Hello, is anyone out there listening to this thread? Tim
B & W 801 S3 Crossover Upgrade
Hello fellow Goners!! I originally posted earlier an inquiry if anybody knows if North Creek Music Systems are still in business. I think I’m going with they are no longer in existence. If anyone knows different, please post your input here. Are there any diy’ers who have either upgraded their own crossovers that would be willing to share the recipe or going one step further, anyone have blueprints/schematics to the North Creek Ultimate or Junior upgrade recipe? Thank you in advance.

This was mentioned here: "According to Frank VanAlstine, the S2’s had a crossover issue which B&W addresses on the S3."
That no-parts mod is explained here: https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/b-w-matrix-801-series-2-enter-the-lab-and-get-the-van-alstine-treatment.512873/
I employed that change to my II's. Does it improve the II''s sound? Not to my ears. |
Sorry, as I know this is an old post. I have that 801 S3s and lost both tweeters. Replaced the membrane and coils with parts from eBay. Upon replacement, one speaker’s tweeter was not working, which I found no power being sent to it. Obviously a crossover issue. Looking to see if anyone had good results with the eBay listing (there are 2 versions listed for the 801 S3s), or if anyone simply replaced components on their own with noticeable improvement. Thank you! |
