I believe that there ar 2 caps, 2 coils and 1 resistor in the 5002's. Replace the 7uf and the 32uf electrolytic with a decent mkp (polypropylene).... Even cheap mkp will be an audible improvement over the 40 year old electrolytic. I believe the resistor is a 3 ohm wire wound. Grab a 10 to 15 watt non or low inductive resistor and replace that also while you are at it. It won't make as much of a difference as the caps, but on decent equipment, is still audible. Leave the inductors (coils). After you do this inexpensive upgrade, then make the decision to replace or not. I hope this helps, Tim
Should I upgrade my Advent 5002 speakers?
I’m currently using a pair of Advent 5002 speakers. I love them but feel like I may be missing a bit using such old speakers. I’m using an ARC SP-14 with a pair of Luxman MB-3045 amps. I’ve been intrigued by MoFi SourcePoint 10 speakers. I know they’re new to the market, but does anybody have experience with the MoFi speakers? I also have a pair of Boston Acoustics A400s that need refoaming and recapping. I’m finally satisfied with everything else in my system but feel like the speakers may be the weak link in the chain. Thoughts or suggestions?
