Zilch is a great loss to the audio forum community AK and Lansing Heritage a cheery person with strange sense of humour.

I agree! Vintage speakers sound great without this! Unless they have midrange and tweeters blown up! In that case you just replaced them be some new ones. Other topic, you dont need so complexed crossover circuits, lie this one! A coil and a capacitor, are usualy what you need to get good 2 way crossover. The more complex the circuit, the more it sounds weird!

I have some Large Advents being of '71. Also, they need new woofers, old ones blown, no they do not need new surrounds, just simply were pounded to death lol.

Nice!!

i would glue those componets as well to keep vibration and buzzing to the minimum

Generally vintage speaker tweeters are easily outperformed by modern high frequency drivers. This is a good mod if the horn is properly matched in loudness to the woofer.

vintage speakers sound already good without this
