    Default JBL L50 speaker XO upgrade

    Afternoon all,

    I don't usually post in this section so please be gentle with me

    My JBL L50s are currently in for an inspection with my local engineer. They are a recent purchase and I think probably a speaker I will be happy to keep for the foreseeable future. I'm aware they are probably 35 ish years old and so I've asked for the cross overs / caps to be checked and replaced.


    I've read lots of posts over the years of people "upgrading" their cross overs and was wondering if I was to replace the caps are there any particular brands I should consider. Are some recognised as better than others?


    I like the sound of the JBLS so wouldn't want to do much to change their sound but am happy to take advise from those with more idea then me

    cheers

    Ben
