I built both versions of the Senator Loudspeakers-the fully-fledged set using the Celestion drivers(September & October 2015: siliconchip.com.au/Series/291)and the “budget” set using the Altronics drivers fMay &June 2016;siliconchip.com.au/Series/300l.I have used Jaycar-sourced inductors in the crossovers for both,after scouring the branches across Australia to get them.I notice that the budget set sounds a little better than the original version with regards to the bass reproduction.I have mounted the crossovers on the reflector plate behind the woofer in both versions and was wondering if this is correct,or should I have mounted them on the floor of the cabinets? Both have the specified acoustic wadding but I noticed that in both instances,it covers the bass reflex port.Is this a problem? I have tried both sets of speakers being with the same Class-A amplifier and the same CD.
