hello,

i would like to replace all the electrolytic caps in the mach one, two,
and three crossovers with good metalized film polyester capacitors. i have been reading that good metal film caps like solen, dayton, etc are much better sounding than the old electrolytics which can be spitty and hissy.

before i take the speakers apart to see and order the values, does
anyone know the crossover caps values for the mach one, two, and three
in mfd and volts ? i would rather take them apart once when i replace
the caps.

i have:

Mach One (original first version w/rubber surrounds)
Mach Two
Mach Three

does anyone have a link to a schematic ?

thanks for any help

steve

Good idea. If no one else reports back, please post the values you find when you upgrade yours. Shouldn't be too hard to pull the woofer and look.

When looking at Dayton and Solen, also look at the Jantzen caps. They're about the same price for their Crosscap line, a little more for their Z caps. In my opinion, each of the them are comparible in sound quality, so you can pick with your wallet or taste test a few different ones and see which you like best.
