Philco 38-690 tweeter improvement
#16

Dave Slusarczyk Wrote:Thank you very much guys. I am begining to beleive mine is performing as well as to be expected. I guess overall I am a little dissapointed. This is my first high count set and had thought I would see a big difference comared to my other consoles of lower tube count.
It is quite selective and does play quite loud. I was expecting a BOOMING bass and very noticeable high notes.


Thanks guys!

Dave

Dave,

I just had a look at the link provided by Ron.

You can try connecting the tweeters (6" tweeters are more like midrange speakers to me) using a 4,7uF in parallel with the woofer. This way you'll know if the tweeters are at fault or maybe the OPT ?
