I'd be interested in seeing your version of the crossover schematic.
In post #35, the 1 ohm resistor represents Steve's estimated value of the 16 uF electrolytic capacitor's equivalent series resistance (ESR), and is not an actual physical component.
P.S. A pair of Dovedale 3 went though my hands. I kept the enclosures, but sold the drivers and in their place fitted my Wharfedale RS/12/DD full range drivers with helper tweeters to much greater effect.
I still have a pair of Denton 2 which were my friend's. I've played around with them, recapping/modifying the crossover etc. but they still sound lacking in excitement.
I know that the modern retro styled Denton 80 and 85 are voiced for a warmer sound - something not to your taste it would appear!
Thanks - interesting though the 12R in series with the 16uf is an actual physical component in the Xovers I have....I agree that the drawing is accurate for the Shelton except for the 12R and the added load resistors in the tweeter cct.
Sounds good too! The Xover I use is a 0.68mH inductor feeding the bass driver (6db) The tweeter is a 3uf cap with 0.68mH to Grnd with a 10uf feeding the tweeter from their junction - very simple but effective. As mentioned with the Wharfedale bass driver the filter is still needed.
