To REWIRE or LET BE: a speakers question


After asking around & getting conflicting advice, here I am again soliciting you, a-goners who have given me the BEST advice to-date to all my quests.
Should I change the internal wiring of my Gen Vs or will this upset the speakers sound balance / tuning?
The local dealer was all for it("sure, I'LL do it for you, have the right cables, too..."), the manufacturer hasn't answered (yet?), people around me say: forget it, you'll blow the tuning.

Apart from the sonic "danger", each speaker has 8 units, so the investment in wire & labour is considerable...

Has anyone tried this, or have an opinion? Thanks in advance!

I posted this very question in regards to rewiring my amp a while back. I have since purchased a pair of Acoustic Energy ae2s with a Cardas rewire and found them to be wonderful. While I agree there is danger in doing what your are doing by undoing what the designer intended, there is another side of the coin in that unless your speakers are of a "cost no object" design, several factors, sound included went into parts choice. Cost, the best pricing, what was avaialable in the qantities needed are other factors, therefore, the "best" may not have been used. Im of the belief that if well known sonic type wire is used, ie Cardas, Kimber, XLO, you cant go wrong. You'll find these brands in the more expensive loudspeakers out there. Good luck.
