Has anyone tried upgrading caps on their crossovers? Curious if they experienced any issues with changing the voicing of the speakers in a negative way? Thinking the speakers might be voiced based on lower quality components.
What you should do is gain some practical experience, cheaply!
My recommendation for inexpensive experiments are Mundorf MKP and Clarity CSA caps.
Should run you about $20 for a pair of caps. Gain knowledge for yourself. If you can't hear a difference, you will learn there's nothing to gain for you.
@bache My speakers (Coincident PREs) only have a single capacitor that filters the tweeter. I've tried three separate caps on that tweeter and they all sound different. Replacing the stock Solen for a Jupiter was a significant upgrade. Will probably try Duelunds at some point...
I've asked Naim for a
schematic, see if they provide one. What prompted me on this is I'm replacing some caps on my DAC soon with some Duelunds. I suspect my speakers could be improved as well only worry about messing with the balance of them because they could be voiced with the lower quality parts. I might end up with a different sounding speaker that I don't like.
