Modding the Zu Omen MKII

Hi all

I am a bit courious as to if anyone else went down the DIY mod path with their Omens?

What are your experiences?

On my mod list (so far)
- New Double xover capacitators
- Adding a parallell resistor to the tweeter
- Stiffening of the cabinet
- Painting the insides with noise-x
- New internal cabeling
- New bolts and fastenings for main elements.

They now sound fantastic! And play in a different league!

And probably more mods to come! ;-)

I got the 475’s primarily due to avoid the woodwork, keep the cost down and make sure the speakers can be returned original if I for some reason would want to..  

the larger Zu lenses are $$$

also, the 850’s are not really well behaved in the high frequencies, the 475-be are beryllium, they are superb for tweeter duty!

L-pad is an arrangement of resistors to match your tweeter to your main driver. If you go this path there are a couple of things to take note of....

What did you use for the L-pad and how do you set it up? 
I'm thinking your reasoning on the 475s is very good.
