Bud porn is fun, but there are other kinds.
Not my photo
Hello, I defused the crossings of origin of loudspeakers ESS AMT-1b pyramid, and with a measuring device RLC I made a plan. I made some searches on the net and I do not manage to know what is the frequency of cut as well as the order and the type (Butterworth, Linkwitz-Riley, Bessel) of these...

Damn nice stuff.
The blue arrow is pointing to the capacitor that cost 100 bucks.
I won't even pretend to understand exactly what is going on here ; but something I noticed in the top right hand corner has got me interested. 9 resistors !
I own a pair of these and I know that it is a two-way system. Heil tweeter + 12 inch driver.
I refoamed the surrounds front and back, but I do not recall seeing such a complicated crossover.
There are attenuation knobs on the cabinet, but no transistors in that photo, I assume they had their own hardware.
The thread does mention fourth order crossovers, perhaps every octave is getting it s own compliment of caps, coils and resistors.
Like I said, I don't understand it, but I do find it interesting.
I guess I should stick my head in there and see what's going on.
Finally, some of these church ladies are settling into their pews.

I'm getting near the end of that pack, and up until now I have been jinxed every time. Like all of the others that came before , this Zinger is a beauty. Hoping to pluck some sweet seeds from her.
