Erse inductors in europe ?
 

Dear all
I am building (finally have got it chosen) Mark's ER18DXT as a first diy project.
All parts from BOM seems to be fine, but due to Marks choice of Erse inductors- I am unable source them in europe.
Would anybody suggest to alternative to:
2.5 Mh 14 awg 0.36 ohm 800 w (pe number 266-380)
0.22 mh 18 awg 0.19 ohm (pe number 266-808)
0.6 mh 18 awg 0.36 ohm (pe number 266-818)

Would much appreciate help.

I am about to get myself into some hot water.

I have purchased quite a few inductors over the years. All where tested before use, why, because I'm a bit anal.

The Erse where always off, and I don't mean a little bit. I would always work backwards and retest some of the Alpha Core's and Mundorf's just to make sure it wasn't the tester.

YMMV, their quality control may have gotten better, or maybe I just got a bad batch.

Found here, on diyaudio.

Mundorf L140 2.7mH 0.51Ohm - you can unwind it and get 2.5mH and keep about same resistance as Erse
Mundorf L100-0,22 - resistanse abit higher - 0,21Ohmm but guess it's OK

Mundorf L100-0,68 0.39Ohm and unwind it

These are all air-cored coils. Anything similar will do. 14 guage for the 2.5mH is just keeping the resistance low around 0.36 ohm, but it's not critical. You could adjust R1 in the tweeter crossover to compensate anyway.

The Seas ER18DXT ported two way

Really can't see anything magical about those ERSE coils. They are copper, they are round, they aren't ferrite cored. That's it. :D

Thank you.
It is just crossover part of equation is still unknown for me.
Will read into theory.

Fingers crossed I will do everything right and will like these speakers...

And I mentioned erse because they are specified by author.
I don't care which brand, as long as it is good and does not impact sound bad way.

Just one note on C2: use best possible capacitor there.

Ok, but which one for example ( hope cap not twice the price of the drivers).

And why thy C2 is so critical to SQ ?

For that project my suggestion for C2 is Auricap XO - it is extrememely neutral with high resolution and will provide deeper sound. You can use here Mundorf MCap Supreme, but it will not give such deepnes as Auricap XO. If you will use here Mundorf MCap400 - it will add some "syntetics"; something like Bennic, Solen will add "harshnes" - but it is my personal oppinion, sugest the best here Auricap XO.

For other caps: you can use inexpensive Mundorf MCap400.
