Polycell Tweeters

[Squishman]

There were times when the tweeters in my RS3000's in my 2-channel room were too harsh even when turning down the treble on the amp. Could be because I'm not getting younger. Anyway, I added these L-pads on the tweeter circuits and it's nice to be able attenuate them now. Got them at 1/2 level at the moment and now, they are way less fatigueing. Playing Steve Taylor's great "Squint" CD rather loud at the moment. Beauty!

Not getting younger is also the team I'm on. I think we all are but I feel like I'm headed to the front of the pack fast.
Cool little system. How do you like your Teac for CDs?

I'm all CD here and love it.

The Teac is a good unit for that room. Plus it has a USB port, which I use frequently. Those Infinity speakers are fabulous. 10 inch Klipsch sub on the floor. It is a great, great sounding room. Now it took a huge step up after this project. I need to get @TLS Guy to hear this system sometime. He did hear the speakers in his family room system a couple years back with a Quad amp.

I was in discussion with him yesterday and we are hopefully getting together in late September or early October.
Enjoy!

Do you live close?

I used 16 gauge OFC speaker wire for the L-Pads. Soldered and heat shrink inside, silicone on the cup where I drilled and ran the wires.

Another thing I did weeks ago was move a stack of dog blankets onto a shelf in that room and also hung a blanket over the closet door. I figured every little bit helps. This was around the time I was asking about possibly rebuilding the xovers in the Infinities. I never did that btw.

Do you live close?

Indeed!
I would say 20-30 minutes away.

And from what I gather, you are about the same distance as well.

I live about 8 minutes from Mark.
