Are internal component upgrades worth it.


Hey guys, 

I have 5 year old Cornwall IVs that I have paired with a Luxman L-507z integrated amp. (do not smack me) Ive watched a few upgrade videos like Boston audiophile and of course Danny Richie and they claim that upgrading the crossovers, using tube connectors, upgrading the internal wiring and using norez in the cabinet will take these speakers to another level. Now I like these speakers but I dont know if im handy enough to do the DIY upgrade. Shipping 100 pound speakers is not an option. So are these upgrades really a thing? Ive only ever had these speakers in my system so i dont know what im missing if I am.

Thanks for your consideration

So you  guys would recommend cracking open the speakers and applying these fixes like norez and sticky stuff to the horns etc and installing a new crossover? As i mentioned. Im not that handy and have never done this before. What level of expertise does this require? 

Well some folks have said they have done this type of work. Jusst wondering how difficult it is. I havent seen any instructions on this as yet since you have to buy the kit to get them

Did you have to buy a circuit board and solder the capacitors etc onto the board? 

I thought crites was closed...they dont have a kit for Cornwall IVs i believe tho. Is Volti another seller?

I agree with this. However there arent many dealers around me. The 1 that is, is ultra high end stuff Im not will to pay for no matter how good they sound heh. So listening to  speakers isnt really a thing to find out what I really like

I see what they are. Interesting. Maybe I should just listen to some other speakers
