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.

Hey, it can't hurt to contact the OEM and just ask what is worth changing out or replacing internally. Especially if the speakers have some age on them.  Who knows, there maybe some parts that he will say "swap x out for y" because y is a better part that wasn't available when the speakers were made.

But if you do make changes, you will invalidate the warranty (if it is still valid) and if you ever send it back to be fixed, they may refuse to work on them.  And document everything you do, take pictures and keep the old parts.

 

 

These are not old. Less than 2 years. I’m not concerned about the warranty as there really is not anything to a speaker other than drivers and crossovers… This is basic and not so much as an experimental experience. lol 

I changed the wiring and the crossovers at the same time.  Noticalbe and excellent changes, but can't say what the impact of the wire was.

Warranty law:  Something breaks, they have to show that what you did caused the problem to deny the claim.  Now if you're clueless and can't argue your side, you'll lose.  but if you can condfidently say that the wire you installed was as good or better and that it was installed properly, you haven't invalidated the warranty.

Now if you put an unapproved racing oil filter on your car and the engine blows, that's not gonna be good.  but if you work on the door handle and the windshield wiper quits working, no relationship.

Go for it, I've been modifying crossovers and internal wiring for many years. One speaker manufacturer incorporated my mods in future production runs. Changing out internal wire, caps, resistors, inductors in crossovers usually results in easily heard differences. Determining exactly what you want to accomplish prior to mods important, research replacement parts to help ensure the replacements meet your needs. I also use the Duelund wire in my present speakers.
