Nice!,:thmbsp: i missed a set of q2's on the DC Cl a couple weeks ago, called as they were heading out the door. Best of luck with them.

Very nice grab. Were they up on cl? I look at least once a day but not always in Jersey. Nice stuff on the DC cl. all the time. Thats were my II and IIb came from.

I've ended up cranking them all the way up to keep up with the Watkins woofers!

really....same for the mid bass coupler...?
my reason for asking is that I haven't seen the inside of the pots yet but they feel as bad as I've felt and with nasty scratch... if i can't clean them up i was going to use resistors instead so i'm looking for a consensus on how everyone seems to like them...
on the o ohm - 5 ohm , where is neutral is another way to put it...(on all 3)

So...I yanked one of the crossovers and its just like the one on the classic site (imagine that) , a couple things :
- the pots are corroded on the outside (kinda knew that by the way they felt) we are talking on another thread about using resistors instead of the pot but the one that feeds the domes uses all 3 legs... can the 2 outs or ins (i'm confused) be combined ...? did they do this because its easier to solder 1 per leg instead of putting both on one...? (see scheme link)
http://www.infinity-classics.de/technik/manuals/Quantum_2_technical_sheet.pdf
- is the 5.4 ohm resister in the mid bass circuit there because its an 8 ohm driver...?
more questions obviously will be coming... man is it crowded in the middle...plus (again with the pots) doest it matter which leg is used ( in or out) seems not to be consistent ...

Inspect the woofer and "mid bass coupler" caps carefully, mine were leaking, badly! Replacing these caps really made mine sound better. As I always say "Leave the yellow film caps on the tweeters, they sound much better than electrolytics."
The pots are easy to disassemble and can be cleaned up easily with some D100 or the like. Be sure to lube them after they are clean with something like FaderLube.
