Speaker re-wire and re-cap
Hi guys,
I'm in the process of rewiring and recapping a pair of Loth X BS1 speakers.
They are pretty efficient (94db-ish) and have a full range paper driver with a tweeter to extend over around 16khz.
The tweeter has an MKP-FC cap rated at 1.5uF (400v) in line with it so I'm going to replace them as I don't know how old they are. I'd also like a performance upgrade if possible.
I like the sound as it is at the moment so hopefully replacing the internal wiring (which is pretty dire looking) with some nice OCC stuff and upgrading the caps will yield some nice improvement.
At the moment I'm thinking Auricap/Clarity/Jantzen/Miflex/Mundorf

Anything else I should be considering around these prices?
I've never actually changed the caps in speakers before, only preamps and phono stages so any advice much appreciated.
Cheers
Chris
