Anyone else tried this? Is it worth it? Just got a pair of rp-160m for stereo and I find them fantastic, but I could live with even more amazingness
Edit: well I jumped in and replaced the 3.9uF with jantzen superior's. About 35 euros. They're too big for the pcb, so sticks out about 1cm, but it's still possible to put the crossover back in. Very easy if you have tried to solder before, and quite easy if you haven't
Sound is mindblowingly good! I thought these klipsch's were excellent before, and I can't say I can hear precisely what has changed (ears/memory not good enough for that), I can just say I can't stop listening - have listened all spare time these last days, and I'm surely not finished. I trust Tweaker256 in that the highs have opened up, seems very reasonable. They image like crazy. The acoustics in my room is quite bad, but the sound is "in the room" as I've never ever heard anywhere before. Well maybe once, at a demo with big electrostats.
I agree that these speakers deserve the best crossover possible.
I've ordered some 0.01uF mkt1837's, they're much cheaper than the jantzens but I'm gonna try bypassing both pairs of caps anyway. And also get those Mills. Stage 2 might be too much for my skills, and Audyn's as bypass are too expensive for me right now.
Thanks so much to Tweaker256 for these ideas
If I could do it over, I would probably do as Tweaker256 mentioned in the last post. But those Superiors are beautiful
