Gotta love Bache Audio founder/designer Greg Belman who recently upgraded my Metro 001's. He replaced the stock Tang Band woofers with Eton and modified the port to accommodate the latter's increased bass output. He also upgraded the crossover and replaced the stock air motion transformer supertweeter with the rare, expensive, Japanese made version of the Fostex FT96-EX2. Since drivers were being changed I asked that he rewire the speakers with better quality wire. We ended up using Duelund DCA tinned copper - 12ga. for the woofer and to the binding posts, and 16ga. for the wideband driver. Stage III Concepts Hookup wire-22ga. was used for the Fostex tweeters. The result - deeper and more refined bass, clearer, more articulate midrange, more resolved yet natural sounding highs, expanded soundstage-a major improvement in speakers I already considered keepers. Greg Belman continually experiments/tests/refines his speakers and contacts owners to let them know about available upgrades. How many speaker manufacturers can you say that about?
