I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring
I’m looking for objective input because I’m not sure if I’m really OCD.
I have a beautiful pair for PBN M1!5 in a Black finish which I love and sound incredible. Peter builds high quality equipment with nothing spared. I think we spend thousands on speaker cables and transport and everything that gets to the binding posts….. And then ? Internally it’s not so great.
I’m considering re-wiring including binding posts to all Cardas ..
What are some thoughts.
I like the make the internal connections better if possible idea more. That can only help and not hurt if done right. Also I would add that tinkering with a product often leads to less interest and value on the resale market if properly disclosed because now the product is not what the original vendor sold, but something some guy decided to experiment with. Ultimately, the decision to tweak or not is yours. It will be an experiment with unknown results until you try. Is that OK with you? |
Already mentioned but still want to add my two cents.... From real world experience, not just what I read or watch on youtube.... I would dive deep into this and learn all you can first then look at not just wire but also the resistors as those look like sand cast. Inductors as I found foil much more to my liking, capacitors, hard to tell what you have from pics of the crossover. And wiring. And solder. And binding posts (or lack of, I prefer direct wiring to the crossover or if possible to the driver terminal and I always solder the driver wires) Some components will not matter, those directly in the signal chain are far more likely be the ones to look into. Some changes you might like but if you do the research and pick parts that fit your particular tastes you might save time and money on the upgrades.
If you have any issues with a particular aspect of how they sound you can focus on that and tune them to your liking, at least I hope there is room in the design to accomplish that. ----------- The advice to contact the manf might prove the best course to follow so I would at least ask but it might not pan out, some might not like getting asked such questions, sensitive egos and all. I do not know nor have dealt with this designer so not pointing him out, just general thing to consider. I have had to deal with many stubborn "engineers" in my lifetime of modding things.
FAR more important, have fun:)

I agree with @stereo5 @mapman @erik_squires OP, you asked for some thoughts. I wouldn't do it. |
