Ideas or concerns about upgrading a pair of 9849A's

Definitely the 32343 network. I suppose i should map out a circuit diagram one of these days so we can all figure out exactly what the extra goodies are doing to shape the HF response. besides sounding great in the 9849's i've also found them to be a worthy temporary plug n play upgrade for the stock 604-8G network.

I wonder if it's a Zobel (spelling?) network like the 1221A crossovers are......... or so I've been told they are.

Someone reverse engineered this back on a previous post. Looks like zobels on both HF and LF with the typical 2nd order network. There is a HF bypass cap that will give a needed 6db or so boost to the top end.

I have three 9849-8D running as front channels in a home theater setup and they are pretty awesome with a modified Karlson K15 doing sub duty to fill in the bass. Some day I will recap these old crossovers just to see if improvements can be had but they seem to be working OK with the old original parts for now.

> This is the network diagram you're referring to ( I think ) .

> The 2 most significant problems on this drawing are ;
(i) it's never been double checked by anyone else owning this network ,
(ii) all the inductor values are simply guesses .

> It would be nice if someone took their 32343 network apart / & then measured the components with something like WT2 and then corrected the above schematic .
