Loved the video. I have to say I am a great Celestion fan boy having owned multiple models over the last 40 years. Sl600's taught me about spacial characteristics and imagining depth, one thing that makes music all the more believable. Shame they are soo inefficient, but power is a lot cheaper today. Keep the videos going please, I enjoy their insight!
The level of your videos is very cordial and very good 👏👏👏👏👏👏 I would like to ask you, how would it influence the sound, apart from the modifications of the frequency divider that you mention, if the internal wiring of the speaker were changed from the input to the same, to the transducers, with a heavy gauge cable, type 12 or 10 AWG, silver plated, for example? Thank you in advance and greetings.
Hi, I'm Raymond from Thailand, has the similar pair of Celestian Kingston as yours, am very happy with it till today..... wondering if you can share details of the parts you change & pics of it if available? Appreciate your time to reply. Thank you very much.
What is the resistor type carbon for the tweeter? Just get some 2watt 1% vishay carbon resistors, you can stack three or four together in parallel to the value you're looking for, or two in parallel and one in series etc. What did you actually do to the crossover then? your values might be closer to spec! that's making it sound better then the type of capacitors. You could try half the winding of the bass inductor connected in series with the original and try something like a 1.8-2.4 microfarad across the connection you made. Another approach is to put the capacitor after or before the inductor and putting inline with the inductor a resistor 4W like 34kohms say, you have to adjust this a bit, somewhere around there tho. If it hasn't got it already.
@@dittonworks yes??? you're not going to share it with me! I gather you don't know the material the resistors made from? probably metal film I would say, what do they call it the resistor what number codes does it have. What make of capacitor did you use?

Good job.. A friend of mine upgraded the caps of his SL6si’s to Auricap XO’s some years ago, and the leap in performance was obvious..

Hi 👋
I just basically put higher quality components in the crossovers.
Wadding abs wiring stayed exactly as it was.
@@dittonworks Very nice thank you very much!

Best to go onto Ditton Works Facebook page. All modifications are mentioned on there.
Thanks for watching

Mills resistors all the way through. 👍
@@dittonworks yes but do you know the material used?
Assuming they are non-inductive resistors.
@@hoobsgroove yes 🙌🏻

@@hoobsgroove if you’d care to read my first reply!!! Mills resistors.. watch the video, clearly shows what make of caps too
Just out of curiosity. How did the upgrade cost?
About £200
Messing with Kingstons? Is nothing sacred?
Not really “messing” mate, I kinda know what I’m doing 😂
They sound way better now
