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.

I replaced the internal wiring first before I upgraded the crossovers , this allowed me to experience the change only of the wires .  I used Cardas chassis wire , first I used 15.5awg from speaker posts to crossovers and then to the speakers , I then changed to 17.5awg from the mid and tweeter crossover to the speakers . The origianl wiring was 18awg solid wire .  I like the sound improvement alot but working with cardas wires means using a solder hot pot which is a little more work . 

If your crossovers have Clarity capacitors that's great , I used the newest Purity series on the mid and tweeter and CMR , MR on the woofer ( I upgraded the woofer first before the Purity caps were available ) .  You should also consider replacing the resistors with Mills , I had done this after the wiring and before the capacitors ( I tried to listen to each form of improvement independently rather than doing the upgrades all at once ) . I used the original inductors  do to size .  I also installed Cardas speaker binding posts although if you have the funds WBT posts might be better .

Good Luck
