    B&W 703

    My uncle measured his 703's impedance at 3.8Ohm and the nominal impedance is 8Ohm. This does not seem normal... His power amp (Marantz MM8077), when the volume is loud, goes into protection and needs to be reset to switch back on again. My money is on the speakers having issues. Your opinions?

    The nut idea is awesome! :thumbs: When we did some experimental housings on the 3D printer we could not print the top flat part as it would always sag and eventually collapse. This was because we didn't support the top flat part. I like your design because it looks really good, but check with...

    Nice. Do you have pics of the screws? R70 for stainless screws are cheap. Sent from my SM-T805 using Tapatalk

    Frequency response

    I try to be a good friend though  :dop: I did a measurement of all the individual drivers, disconnected from the crossover directly to amp. Almost full volume with the mic in line with the woofer for the woofer measurement and moved up and inline with the tweeter for the tweeter and Midrange...

    A friend offered to take my speakers. He likes the sound as is... he offered to pay for the cost of the drivers and I get to build another set of speakers :) I'll start a new thread for that Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

    Frequency response

    Just a quick one to make sure... I am going to measure without any crossover connected to the drivers. Driver direct to amp. Each driver on its own and then use HolmImpulse to stitch together the frequency response (and include the phase).

    Frequency response

    Yes, you are correct... I should just make time to get the measurements done properly instead of looking for a quick fix... The crossover I "sommer" bought at PQ Sound - skytronics 3-way. Its crossing frequencies were at the time what I thought would be ideal for the setup. There are no values...

    Frequency response

    I am going to play around with attenuating the woofer and tweeter - starting with the tweeter. I need to drop the tweeter by roughly 5dB and the woofer by 4dB to get them at the same level of sensitivity as the midrange. This is the theory in anyway...  :nfi:  I'll adjust as I feel is required...

    Frequency response

    I suppose that would be the cheaper and easier option. The woofer's spec is 91dB while the tweeter is 89dB and the mid is rated to 90dB. When I checked the mid's frequency responce again, I noticed that from 1000Hz the sensitivity drops to 86dB and stays there until about 4500Hz exactly where I...

    True, but when he pointed it out... now I have to fix it Sent from my SM-T805 using Tapatalk
