Thanks Ali, I understand now.

I did manage to find the earlier posts regarding Mark’s measurements etc. thanks. Very interesting. I’m assuming the variables you refer to are on the tweeter and when set at max give you the 18 ohms you stated earlier? The Magic Twins are from Bastanis and I think they are possibly rebranded Bybee ...

I wondered if that might be the case, I seem to remember Vic mentioning somewhere on his website that he found the tweeters a bit too much.

I don’t have variable resisters on mine but I do have a Magic Twin across each speaker input.

Oh that’s interesting. I just have a 1.0uf capacitor on the tweeter and no resistor. That’s the standard layout according to all the details I’ve seen. Is the resistor something you’ve added through testing/measurements?

Thanks Ali, I’ll give that a try.

Thanks Ali, appreciated.

That’s great Ali, thanks.

One last question, what value resistor do you use across the wideband driver? I have a 12 ohm but I read in a review that Robert Bastanis recommends a 15 ohm with the Crystal units. I haven’t been able to verify that anywhere.

Thanks Ali that’s interesting and helpful. I hadn’t looked at the Pathaudio resistors before and had been considering Duelund CAST or Lefson. I have a spare set of slightly higher value Bastanis caps for the tweeter so I could just double up with the originals and give it a try. I was also thinking ...

I have Gemini tweeters and Crystal main drivers with open baffle Selenium Neo 15” bass drivers.

Does anyone here have any experience playing with different capacitors and resistors that they can share before I do something blind?
