I've had these speakers about 4 yrs now, and always thought they were a tremendous value for the money. At various times I have switched out the "crossover" capacitors, and about a year ago settled on Jensen copper PIO caps bypassed with a small value V-cap. Sounded good but not as good as Wilson Sashas that I recently auditioned.
Suffice to say that I remembered Tony Landry telling me that the Dueland capacitors were an improvement. So before buying Sashas, I decided to bite the bullet, buy the Dueland caps, and see how close they would bring the Prometheus' to the Sashas.
HOLY HOLY HOLY COW. It is UNBELIEVABLE how the Dueland VSF copper capacitors changed these speakers! The clarity is amazing. Individual instruments and now just that--it's like you can listen to each of the performers individually and follow their lines easily and clearly. TRULY amazing. I've built a lot of Bottlehead and DIYHiFiSupply amps and preamps over the years, and am quite familiar with the kinds of changes different resistors and capacitors can have on the sound. This is WAY more extreme than ANYTHING I have previously encountered.
If you want to hear what these speakers can do, try the Dueland caps. They may be expensive, but they saved me $27K. At this point, I wouldn't trade straight up for the Sashas. And the Sashas are WONDERFUL speakers.
