It seems whatever speakers I have are the most fun, modifying speakers is my idea of fun. Dahlquist DQ10, mirror image and internal wiring mods. Various models of Alon's, cabinet and driver mods. Merlin VSM-MM, just about every part within BAM and Duelund VSF caps in speaker. Present Klipschorns, every single thing modified with exception of bass portion of cabinet.
I generally keep speakers for many years, by doing mods over relatively long periods of time I create better synergy with partnering equipment. Tuning my system by ear, and for relatively little expense is both great fun and devoid of the audiophile nervosa equipment churning brings me.
And I still have both the Dahlquists and Merlins, can't bring myself to sell them. Dahlquists have been in storage for thirty years, perhaps someday I'll reinstate them. Hearing DQ10's, Maggies and Dynaco speakers in various high end systems back in the 1970's brought me first awareness of high fidelity.
