Agreed. It is a cool invention (grill) that adds a touch of elegance to these loudspeakers.

Happy Listening!

Tom, I follow this thread religiously even if I don't contribute much, so I see YOU her several times a week, but thanks for the feedback in answer to my question.  Back in the '70's cables were just beginning to distinguish themselves and at the time I felt the M1000's were at least in the upper ranks.  But I do use Audioquests from the turntable to headamp.

Good to see you again.
Happy Listening!

@tomthiel

Can you clarify your project with the old 02s for me?


Are you experimenting with upgrades so as to advise other people in how to DIY upgrade their own pair?


Or will you be offering a service to upgrade a pair of 02s if sent to you?


Or will be you selling upgraded versions of 02s?


Thanks.

Prof - it's hard to say. These various projects have taken on beta-partners, people who systematically build out the designs while carefully noting their listening experience as it goes. Eventually there may be all of what you list above, from advice to plans to kits to in-house upgrades to new Renaissance products. I know it's been a long time, but the project is still in early stages for reasons too quirky to itemize.

It is quite a trip, though.
