I have accumulated enough free speakers lately that I managed to create a nice hybrid system.
I am a fan of EPI 100 speakers but never really liked the EPI T/E100 speakers. So the cabinets got swapped with 8 inch CTS Alnico woofer that were found in AR4X speakers with a pair of CTS 2T2 Phenolic Ring tweeters. I changed the crossover to a first order 8uf cap on the tweeters and the woofer just rolls off naturally as per the organ donor they came from, EDS 1000.
I am really impressed with the sound, I tried a pair of CTS 2T8 tweeters but found their output was to brash for the 8 inch woofer and swapped back in the CTS 2T2 tweeters.
Fabulous combination.......
Update: I moved the crossover point to 3000hz by making the cap a 6.7uf instead of the 8uf value. It has helped out in the the midrange but I still believe a 5 watt 10ohm resistor still may be needed.
