Does anyone do speaker mods?

S7,

For the majority of speakers, we're talking about a few screws and a positive and negative wire to each speaker piece (tweeter, mid, woofer, etc.)

I don't think that's very difficult. You just have to make sure that you label the positive and negative wires and to which speaker piece they go to. Many xover PCB's have the labels on the PCB as well (to which speaker piece they go to.

Again, not very difficult. Pretty straight forward if you ask me. Heck, my 12yr and 14yr old sons understand it and have helped me from time to time.

I have a pair of Mirage M1's and I modified them by replacing the internal copper wiring with DH LABS Q10 Silver coated wire. The difference was amazing the pace tone improved dramaticly and the Bass was a big improvment. At first it was a little bright, but after it burned in, it smoothed out and sounded much more detailed!! It was a major improvment. Bob at audionut gave me a great deal on the cableing and lots of trusted advice on how to accomplish the task with out any problems. Id call him for any questions on speaker mods, or you can google him.

I've noticed modding speakers hurts their resale. For example people mod Klipsch speakers all the time but I notice when they sell them they seem to go for much less than comparable unmodded in equal condition. Something to think about.

Wireless,

I would respectfully disagree. Klipsch speakers with upgraded xovers almost always sell for more than a non-upgraded Klipsch speaker (everything else being equal).

Another thing to consider here (specifically with Klipsch speakers), it that they sound WAY better after having the xover upgraded. So a person seriously considering selling their non-upgraded Klipsch speakers would most likely reconsider selling their upgraded Klipsch speakers.

I'm saying this from first hand experience with my multiple pairs of Klipsch speakers. They are the ONLY original audio purchase that I still use today. Point is, that I don't have to worry about resale. But if I did, I bet they would sell for more than a pair without upgraded xovers.

Have heard great things about Bill Legall, both the man & his work. Cheers,

Spencer
