Steakster, I will give it a listen and thanks!
Audioman58, my thoughts exactly to be frank here. It was a ton of work putting in the parts that should have been used upfront after the speakers were built. Mills or other good resistors would have cost perhaps $3 each instead of $.30 cents each. A $20,000 speaker should use a $3 dollar resistor :)
I see this all the time in high end gear however and it does cause me to shake my head.
Audioman58, I still have the bass boards to upgrade. Each speaker uses two 1000uf, 100v caps. Yes they are low cost electrolytics. Any suggestions here? These boards have 8 ohm and 12 ohm 20 watt resistors which I will replace with 2 Mills MRA 12’s in parallel. But the caps? Not entirely sure a better electrolytic cap from Audio Note will help much here or not. Film caps in parallel would be very expensive and perhaps take up too much room. Not sure bypassing electrolytic caps with film bundles is advantagious on a bass crossover board. I know it works great in amplifiers, but crossover boards?
