A friend was over yesterday and said, "They really have that vintage sound, a bit muddy but I like it, it suits the music you play (Jazz)."
I was thinking, "Muddy? They sound pretty good, not like a 3000-5000 full range speaker or the 1700 dollar Fritz, Carbon 7 speakers, I had sitting there before the ARs were there (I want those speakers...I loved how they sounded with the AVA Insight) but not "muddy."
All I need is money! I could have fun being a billionaire...I promise that it wouldn't change me a bit. I'd settle for multi-millions, but I think I deserve being filthy rich.
All of the stuff I read said caps weren't overly important, just so they were high voltage and the correct values. I bought the Dayton audio grade from Parts Unlimited. I'd have spent the bucks if the consensus had been different, though.
All of the drivers seemed to be fine, surprisingly so; so all I did was by-pass the pots, put new stuffing into them (had to approximate there, my wife threw the old stuffing away before I could weigh it), and the caps. I checked the seals of the woofers, pushed them in and they slowly returned.
