What value is the resistor now?

The value of the Duelund resistors are currently set at 1.50.  It’s a pair of .75 ohm resistors wired in series.  I have a 2.5 Duelund resistor coming from England, so I’m going to give that a try.  The stock resistor that came with the speaker is a cheap 2 ohm cement resistor.

So the Duelund 2.5 resistors arrived and I just installed them in the Err’s.  So right out of the gate they are more pleasing.  The sound is nowhere near as forceful as it was before.   It not so directly “in your face” as it was prior.  They are edgy and crispy,  but that is to be expected since they are new.  The sound is more cohesive with better balance between the highs and lows.  I definitely wouldn’t go any higher than where I am now.  I think the sweet spot may be somewhere between like 1.8 and  2.3.  It’s way too early to tell, but the 2.5’s seem like they could be a keeper.  Lots of breaking and listening to do, so I’ll report back.

More to come with the Pinnacle update…but that will be for another time.  But for now I’m enjoying the exploration.
