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?

The alluring quest for perfection is always dangling in front of us audiophiles.  I would speak to the manufacturer and let him describe the differences...see if your dealer has a "new" one that you can hear and decide if the upgrade is worth it.  Sometimes the difference is small and room resonances, equipment, etc, would swamp the upgraded sound.
