    Smile Finally listening to my fully recabineted (is that a word) and recapped Studio 66's

    Finally enjoying my Studio 66's now running in nicely after placing onto some DIY carbon Fibre supports, elevating these lovely things really gets the best out of the bass and using carbon supports makes the cabinets more invisible audibly. I'm so surprised overtime as I listen on how great they are for a 1970's speaker.
    I tri-wired the recapped crossovers so I can bi-amp or tri-amp them. But just enjoying them with the Avondale Audio mono power amps and a valve driven Conrad Johnson (clone) preamp heavily modded, paper and oil output caps are devine. They are so efficient too sooo good on classical as well as Jazz and guitar rock. Happy man.

    When I had my 66's I had both types of midrange.
    I preferred the sound of the early type.
    When I compared, I made the appropriate changes to the the cap values for each type.
