Crossover and Wiring Upgrade


Has anyone upgraded their Sonus Faber crossover, internal wiring, and binding post?  I'm a cable and amplifier believer as not all cables and amps sound the same.  Using that same mindset, I believe that upgrading the crossover and internal wiring would also yield positive results and keep in my speakers longer versus upgrading.

What is it about the speakers that you don't like that you are trying to improve?

If you intend to open up the crossovers to rewire them, you will get FAR MORE "difference" by changing the value an internal resistor or capacitor by even just a small amount while you are in there.

Remember that "factory-built" speakers are auditioned in an entirely different setting than your room, and a bit of crossover tweaking may pay off in spades..., if you know what you are doing.

Cardas solder excellent sound and has flux rosin built in flows nice , Donot use a solder pen spend $100+ on a good-solder station 

+1 on both counts. Cardas solder is actually quite good, albeit not inexpensive (the cheapest source as of this writing is the diyaudio store). Flows well, low melting point, it's a treat to use. Honestly it's not a lot better than the Delta 62/36/2 I used to use, but the Delta isn't that much cheaper either. 

I have a 200W AiXun T3A soldering station I really like, it was like $100 including a selection of C245 active tips. Recommended

@pindac - WOW, and YOU want ME to take anger management?! Just take a long look at the diatribe you've posted! I think you're on the wrong forum.

I believe you need some professional help pindac - get some therapy, as you obviously have mental health issues!

Just because you believe it doesn't make it true. None of what you're suggesting will make them sound better. You just need to get different speakers. Different sounding cables/wires? Come on, man. Don't be willfully ignorant.

Crossover and Wiring Upgrade

@stillbuyingtoys Your Thread Title, leads onto an inquiry about internal wiring, and binding post? Of which Internal Wiring is used on two occasions.

I have made reference to Wire Types that are very worthwhile being considered for use within the Speaker Cabinets Interior and Exterior.

The suggestion was also made to consider not only a Improved Quality Connection at the Speaker but also on the Amp’.

The Cost of one wire type referred to, for use Internally does not need to be excessively expensive, as the Link will show.

If my Google Translate has not remained in English, a right click and select Translate will allow a little further reading on the properties known with the wire type.

The info shared in the Link pretty much shows why the Wire Type was wrote as it was when it was first referencedt.

As for the Connector at the Cabinet. The link has a broad range of designs and costs.

My own math at the moment suggests the exchange of a insitu wire to the referred to Wire Type and exchange of insitu Connectors on Two Cabinets, is achievable for $130ish if using Pure Copper but not getting too caught up with the Brand.
