    You could rewire the thing with some decent copper if you wanted and cover this with Teflon, admittedly not as good as silver but you'd notice a difference. The inductors could be left alone (this seemed to be the advice from a few people who I talked to when I was doing the 15xr's). Recapping and rewiring will make a nice difference and one thats quite cheap and easy to do as well!

    lol.. Pics of the speakers will be tomorrow too Chris.

    Andrew... that sounds like static to me mate but I'd love to give it a try for a substantial improvement... or (more realistically) get someone to make some for me. Maybe NickG can?

    Here are some pics I did earlier, better ones tomorrow.

    10" bass driver, 6" mid driver and a 1.5" Titanium tweeter. Even the tweeter plate surround is cast metal

    Apart from considering replacing the Alcap electrolytics, may I suggest adding wire links on the circuit tracks, as the tracks do look a bit flimsy - possibly...

    These speakers wuld have been carefully designed by experts, so don't feel the need to go totally mad with them please

    That sounds like a good idea Dave as my Tannoy crossovers are point to point. is it just the case of joining each joint with wire and keeping the tracks working? If so, what gauge wire is best here?

    Not going mad, just thee crossover needs updating, everything else will remain the same.

    One thing I have notivced about the construction of the cabs is that the mid and the tweeter compartments are tubular and made out of some kind of MDF. Never seen that before.

    0.8mm solid core should be enough. Obviously, bare copper will tarnish, so, although it's a pain to solder, annealed copper wire as used in the coils will be excellent I reckon..

    Joe,

    Maplin do some good solid core copper. You might need a large store as it appears some of the smaller stores dont stock much in the way of shielded cables. They also do some silver plated, high purity pure copper wires if your interested?? You'd only need several meters.

    Thanks Andrew. I'm actually thinking of ordering the parts today from HIFICOLLECTIVE as it's too busy in town and I'm out of the way here. I'm confident of doing the job, done stuff like this before I just need a parts list. (wish I had learned more about electronics now)

    Would you or anyone be able to help me and point me to the right parts on their website?

    Also, the cabling to the speakers looks like decent stuff, is that something to leave alone, it wouldn't take much to change it really.
