I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring


I’m looking for objective input because I’m not sure if I’m really OCD. 
I have a beautiful pair for PBN M1!5 in a Black finish which I love and sound incredible.  Peter builds high quality equipment with nothing spared. I think we spend thousands on speaker cables and transport and everything that gets to the binding posts….. And then ? Internally it’s not so great. 
I’m considering re-wiring including binding posts to all Cardas ..

What are some thoughts.

If one has direct experience using all manner of crossover part brands and quality tiers as well as hook up wire, then they will know what each change will bring sonically.

OP feel free to reach out to me regarding bulk hook up wire and your options. I have used many options over the years and carefully listened through the break in process. Internal wire choice will change the sound and you just need to know the result you’re looking for. Please first know what is in there now. I suspect Mil Spec silver over copper in Teflon. You must know this first.

My speakers sound so good I get stuck in front of them for hours, cutting into my time translating Greek philosophy back into Greek, and working to help the extremely wealthy with their personal issues. I'm going to replace their (the speakers, not the extremely wealthy) classy internal wire with rusty old lamp cord to dial them back a little.

When Peter lived / worked here in Alpine, he was a guy you could have a beer ( the last time i recall w him… he had a hard Cider… )… i would just call him… Unconstrained by $ his answers will likely change..

Also, the last pair of PbN speakers i heard did have a plexiglass back exposed filter network with absolutely nothing to be ashamed of… just my opinion…

@wolf_garcia I have ( somewhere ) 50’ of brown lamp cord circa 1965… copper was great again back then… Mac and Bozak endorsed..

Greek is all Greek to me, i specialize in Latin, in particular the prayers for cooperative electrons… likely a Greek thing.. after all

I replaced the internal wiring first before I upgraded the crossovers , this allowed me to experience the change only of the wires .  I used Cardas chassis wire , first I used 15.5awg from speaker posts to crossovers and then to the speakers , I then changed to 17.5awg from the mid and tweeter crossover to the speakers . The origianl wiring was 18awg solid wire .  I like the sound improvement alot but working with cardas wires means using a solder hot pot which is a little more work . 

If your crossovers have Clarity capacitors that's great , I used the newest Purity series on the mid and tweeter and CMR , MR on the woofer ( I upgraded the woofer first before the Purity caps were available ) .  You should also consider replacing the resistors with Mills , I had done this after the wiring and before the capacitors ( I tried to listen to each form of improvement independently rather than doing the upgrades all at once ) . I used the original inductors  do to size .  I also installed Cardas speaker binding posts although if you have the funds WBT posts might be better .

Good Luck
