What the? This regular ol' speaker retails for ~18k??
Well, for what the dude charged you, he better already have put the best wire on earth, best crossover components. best of everything.
I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring
I’m looking for objective input because I’m not sure if I’m really OCD.
I have a beautiful pair for PBN M1!5 in a Black finish which I love and sound incredible. Peter builds high quality equipment with nothing spared. I think we spend thousands on speaker cables and transport and everything that gets to the binding posts….. And then ? Internally it’s not so great.
I’m considering re-wiring including binding posts to all Cardas ..
What are some thoughts.

The best speaker designers on earth themselves are quite humble, constantly learning and revising things. So, Peter and his speaker are not set in stone. Peter himself may have a lot more to learn like other designers. So, you can go to town with the tinkering and not worry about "upsetting" Peter (good grief, facepalm). He got paid and they are your speakers now, i.e., you can do whatever you want with it. A simple upgrade for many speakers could be to try slapping some no-rez sheets inside the cabinet, see what it does. https://gr-research.com/product/norez-two/ Consider joining groups like the ’high end loudspeaker crossover upgrading’ facebook group. You’ll find more detailed posts, schematics, pictures, etc and those nerds could help sort you out, if you got stuck or something (i.e. if this type of tinkering becomes your near-future venture). Such info and dudes are also scattered around in the diy audio forums. Think of it as tube rolling, op amp rolling ,power cable rolling, speaker cable rolling, etc whatever....You are just ’rolling’ your internal crossover and wires now. Some ’rolling’ attempts could fail and you could always roll back to Peter, in such instances. Some rolling attempts could one up Peter’s design...that’s how it works. |
