Hi @Scott Grammer, how is this coming along? Wondering what you decided on the caps. 

 

I didn't realize you were neighbors with my good forum friend @Marvel

Right now, I have the speakers returned to dead stock, save for the addition of crimp-on connectors on the crossover end of the wires connecting the drivers to the crossovers. Tightening the woofer bolts also seems to have made a considerable difference in the bass. They still don't sound quite like what I want, but the "vocal-forward" sound is growing on me, and as I said, the bass is improved since tightening the woofer bolts. I'm going to leave them stock for now, until I can decide on a course of action that I feel sure will result in an improvement. 

 

Also, I changed the output tubes in my CCAR amp from EL34's to 6L6GC's. These have a tad less output, but they also allow for a lower output impedance, making it easier to drive the 4-ohm woofers. I like the sound better than my SS Nikko.

 

One thing that has struck me since tinkering with the toe-in of the Cornwalls: these things image like no one's business! My JBL's NEVER imaged like this. I think it's due to the fairly narrow dispersion of the mid horns.
