Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

$$$

The original caps were Callins electrolytics that cost pennies each (Callins made the best electrolytic crossover caps, but they had a short lifespan), some budget film caps that cost a couple of dollars each will be a vast improvement.

I would spend a couple of bucks and replace the level controls too.

After you solder in the new controls, give them a squirt of De-Oxit (heat degrades De-Oxit).

If they still don't have enough sparkle for you, spend $100 each on new diaphragms from GPA. Aluminum work-hardens over time and degrades the response.
