When a speaker offers upgrades (e.g. Tekton)


Hi,

I'm looking to purchase some Tekton PenDragons.

Well just when I thought I'd ended my search I see they offer a number of upgrades:

  • ClarityCap PX upgrade ($50-$65)
  • Mundorf Silver-Oil Capacitor ($365-$440)
  • Cardas silver rhodium binding posts – $75 pair
  • Silver coated copper teflon internal wiring – $100 pair

Look, I've no idea what these things are. I'm sure they're supposed to make the speaker "sound better", but would I hear a difference? Has anyone experience with these (kinds of things)? Do you hear a difference?

My experience with upgrades on Amp and speakers have been very positive , feel always was rewarded by much higher performance by several folds compared to the cost of upgrades.
I would have even asked the OP to consider slightly higher range  of caps like Clarity ESA or MR instead of PX. More ever, you could have gone for upgrades on internal wiring : these things do make lot of difference.
