I am in the process of externalising the passive x/overs for my Heybrook Sextet 3-way speakers and inadvertently naffed one of the Tonigen tweeter resistors. I decided that with external x/overs it will make it easy to experiment with different values. So I ordered 1 and 1.5 Ohm metal film 1%.
The resistors arrived today and they are no way 1% - the 1 Ohm measure 1.2 and the 1.5 measure 1.7/8 Ohm. I wanted to experiment using cheap metal film and when I am satisfied with what I hear to replace with Z foils which will not introduce any brightness to the Tonigen sound.
It could be that the original 1 Ohm is the right value but I might as well try both the 1.2 and 1.7 but if I find I don't like these values, where can I buy (cheaply) true 1 Ohm metal film resistors?
