Spendor s3/5 upgrade recommendation?

Roxy54, there was really nothing to "disagree with" the others in what you did.

First, I don't consider the replacement of aged or degraded parts a "mod." That's just prudent maintenance in my book.

For me, a "mod" is when the original crossover point was 3 KHz or had a 12 dB slope and someone decides it should be 6 dB at 2.5 KHz or a similar deviation from the original design.

Second, you have an older speaker that hasn't been in production for a number of years. The S3/5 is still a current production model. His unit could be up to 10 years old but his question didn't give that impression.

Lastly, no one said DON'T mod the speakers, only that it isn't often done, especially in contrast to many other brands on the market.

Mlsstl, I agree with you. I think that what I wanted to communicate was that members who own speakers that they really like can quite possibly improve their performance by upgrading the crossovers. It isn't that the manufacturers did anything wrong, but they are limited by available technology at the time of manufacture as well as cost constraints. You make a really good point. Upgrading the crossover is not going not going to make it a different speaker, just an improvement of the old one.

anyone? opinion? thx

Greetings...Apparently this is a pretty old thread, but I have a pair and I got 'em without the binding post nuts, so I was considering my options. Any further news on this subject?Thanks
