Puncher, I agree that the 100 volt should be plenty. I chose the 400 volt Solen caps because of their build and audio quality. I've used them in many audio applications with outstanding results. They are a French company and also have a build house in Canada. This goes back to what I tell a lot of folks about audio.....It doesn't have to be

Puncher, That really suprises me!!!! Electrolytic caps do fail and die over time, just like an electrolytic automobile battery. I noticed a tremendous improvement when I went to the higher grade Solen capacitors & Mills resistors. It was like the speakers woke up after a long nap! Did you go back with the 63 volt caps? That could explain why you

I certainly will...... You guys have a great forum here! Mike

Puncher, That was one of my concerns I had when I converted mine to passive radiators. I knew the cabinet tuning frequency would be raised a few hz, but being used as surrounds and the sub taking over everything from 60 or 80hz and below, it wasn't an issue for me. I will probably leave one of the spare RL 60's I have with them and the specs

Thanks Puncher.....I'll pass on that info to my Speaker Surgeon... I think foam ought to be used on coffee "to go" cups only.... Mike

Peter : Nice site! Just so you know, the RL60s cost £225 in 1985 - about $400 - and when discontinued as RL6000s in 1996 cost £450 or about $900. The later speakers had a reflex port rather than the ABR but were the same size and used similar drivers. Puncher has just posted a pic of the port. That pipe came off of my old motorcycle!!..

I appreciate that info...She must have been talking about her whole system cost. I'll remove the price from my website.. She also told me that they worked great! After I got them and started doing some research and purchased a second pair for the back up drivers, I found the plastic bands on the second pair. The ones she gave me had the bands cut

I've got my modificaton to the RL60's failed ABR's finished along with the rebuild of the crossovers. Stryke out my comment in my last post about seeking out passives with a higher xmax. The new crossover upgrades fixed this issue. The suspension of the Peerless Tymphany passives are stiffer than the drivers and are doing a great job. Things

I have my website www.speakerhobby.com up and running now with the first completed page being the Bang and Olufsen Redline 60 modifications if you want to see how I fixed mine. They sound great, but I would try to find a passive radiator with a little more xmax. They will be great for my applications as side surrounds in my home theater. Thanks to all

You are a riot!!!!!!!!!!!! I really appreciate you guys.... I got my new passive radiators in today. I'm going to install them, put the cabinets back together, and if I like what I hear, I'm going to order my 10 and 30 ohm Mills 12 watt resistors and the Solen caps and replace them. I'll have to series wire the Mills to get 40 ohms, but
