possibly to balance out parts? I did this to a speaker when it was getting noisy, to correct imbalances in the speaker alignment. It helped to cure a noisy voice coil when driven near mechanical limits of the speaker, on a true sub. jr.

I just repaired an old sae a210 amp for an associate, I checked it out with some pink floyd, track was run from the wall. nice sounding amp.. ddd recordings mostly for benchmarking, which is totally subjective.....

sweetwater. com sells those lamp fuses also.....

A nice addition, I also bought the superman song a few months back.....

I heard the studio monitors in a recording studio awhile back, lots of punch and impact.....

all the parts are installed now, I used the solen caps, slightly forward midrange, musical and detailed, just what the speakers needed.... highs and lows as well as the midrange are back where they should be.

hey Nahash, just jumped the lamp fuse with a piece of 12 gauge wire soldered in place. I just bypassed some sort of overload protection on the speakers. when the lamp fuse heats up, current through the speakers drops and the capacitor across the lamp fuse acts as some sort of voltage doubler, more voltage less current, the setup was a safeguard to prevent people from blowing the tweeters. from the input, to the lamp fuse with the capacitor across it, to the crossover (tweeter and low pass circuits parallel to eachother). the new fuses are actually a jbl part, they're rated at 200 watts so it has the same spec's as the bose... could not find a bose part online. hopefully it won't degrade the sound. also ordered new capacitors for the cross over, some aeon and also some sulen caps, 2.4 mf 400volts form parts connexion, they're cheap so I'll swap until I find the ones that work best. 20 year old film caps are due for replacement if the performance is better with the lamp fuses bypassed, then I'll reinstall the jumper wiring.....

re-soldered and fixed a couple of problems. long story short, each speaker had blown it's fuses, systems been running off of a couple of capcitors across the fuses for quite sometime. had to bypass the fuses for now, just need to keep the volume reasonable and things should be o.k. untill I get the fuses replaced. I ohmed all the speakers and they checked out good. the fuses must have just been worn out/old and blew. the speakers sound like new now, just have find out who sells glass ampule fuses. wide open clear sharpe dynamic sound is back, finally (the bose carnival soundstaging is back again). update; lamp fuses ordered 2 for $8 shipped they're supposed to limit current and also act as fuses if the speaker is over-driven.

I have a set of bose 601 3 series. I 've had them for around 20 years now. I added some hivi tweeters and 2nd order crossovers to the mix about a year ago, the system is alot nicer now. So tommorrow I decided I would have some fun and solder all those worthless wire wrapped speaker connections in the bose speakers. Should give some sort of improvement, maybe, I'll post again once I'm done.

thanks for all the input, going to check out some prices... right now My tv is having trouble, so need to conserve money. hopefully just parts.

I priced the b & w speakers abit out of My range right now, nht zeros on the other hand are closer to what I can spend right now ($200 nht vs. $550 B&w)less expensive.

that's funny, I have some b & w speakers and I agree, I have the team solid monitors from b & w nice highs... I'll check out 602's. It's going to be sony ep9es (old processor I've held onto), the c-9, and a chinese amp the yaqin vk2100 85 watts per channel.

any ideas on some affordable new or used small bookshelf type speakers for a small space sonic holography setup... input is appreciated.
