Noticeable Sound Improvements With Speaker Re-cap?


Hello!

I own a pair of Infinity RS 4.5 speakers. I drive them with either a Krell FPB 600 or a Sunfire Signature 600.

Right now, they sound near perfect to my ears.

I keep reading in multiple posts that a re-cap will take them to the next level.

They are over 40 years old, so they are definitely due for new capacitors.

My question is this, for anyone who has performed a full re-cap on their speakers, what were some of the most noticeable sound improvements?

Thanks in advance!

These Speakers were built to a Budget that was constraining the cost allocated for the Xover.

Move forward to the current times, Xovers from a particular era, especially a Vintage era, when met with State of the Art Components from the current era, will create a very attractive circuit to divide the Source Signal into different frequencies. A lot less distortion is likely to be created using the new components, resulting in less corrupted Signal being converted to become the End Sound.

The Link will show how adventurous other Owners have been willing to express their speakers.
