mjcmt, have had a pair of SP-2500s for over two years now, which sing sweetly via Kenwood KR-5150 amplification. Bypassed the stock crossover, & replaced the stock wiring with 16 gauge. Stock 2500s don't have a lot of bass thump, so replaced stock midrange 10 uf non-polarized caps with 13 uf np's. Also wired the mids in series, which helps deliver Advent/KLH-esque bass-to midrange tonal transition. Since stock x-over provided for either 4.7uf np or 2.2uf np cap tweeter eq, went with 4.7uf np cap on lower tweet, & 2.2uf np cap on upper tweet. Those 2500s now sound expansive-n-expressive! As previously chronicled, gave a bud a pair of SP-1500s, which had their stock x-over bypassed in favour of separate cap x-overs for mids-n-tweets(woofs were direct wired). Recipient loves his Viet-Nam vet-era system, with a Sony STR-6055 unleashin' that sweet alnico tonality. Up in Nevada City, a pair of AS-100s sound heavenly via Rotel RX-602. Only mod was bypassing tweet control, & replacing stock 4.7uf np caps. Was recently informed a pair of modded Classique 900s provides analog reverb for KDVS' Thursday night "Live In Studio A' series. In the living room, a pair of latter-day 'suis, with replacement Utah Cadence woofs, provides rear channel duty. With just a bit-o-elbow grease, mjcmt, 'sui speakers can sound outstanding. WAF is also an extra bonus! 73s from Sactown!!!
