Should I recap my speakers? If so who can do it?
I beg to differ on the sand cast resistors which sound harsh compared to the inexpensive Mills MRA. Resistors do make a nice difference and improvement and for little money. Path Audio is best, but they are costly. Nice bang for the buck sound qua... 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
@stereo5 Ok I stand corrected on you not asking for the mat thread to be taken down.  I got that wrong as your statement was not completely clear.  I apologize  for that. Yes, we disagree on the wisdom of painting with such a negative broad brush ...

Ha! I wish I did!  I don’t understand many things I enjoy from cell phones to accupuncture😁Nevertheless I use and enjoy all kinds of technology I don’t fully understand.  I have yet to try this product so have given no review or opinion.  How coul...

Ok then. I used them and know them also.  The poster has options with several of us willing to help as little or much as he wants. I like the newer Jantzen Alumen Z also. Let’s assume we who want to help each have knowledge and experience.

To do a nice job without going overboard I suggest the following. 1) Replace the 6-20watt sandcast/concrete resistors on each board with Mills MRA 12. You will need 12 Mills per speaker as I would connect in parallel pair in order to hit the 20 wa...

I just looked at this speaker. The board is loaded with cheap electrolytic caps and the film caps used were also not of high quality. With all those electrolytic caps a new board with 100%  film caps would be quite large and may not fit back into ... 
Do you hate the new Audiogon search results?
Perfect!  
Audiogon screws up their site even more
Nice work Agon for fixing the site so all users like the outcome.  Well done.

I would be willing to do the work in terms of building a new crossover board with the right parts based on your sonic goals.   I can walk you through removing the old and installing the new board. Contact me if interested. I do this as a business ... 
New Look for Audiogon hard to work with
Thank you for listening and offering us the option.  Very good.

Having My Baby - Paul Anka 
Melody Gardot - Which albums to buy?
The recording quality is fine on the live recording. I just don’t care for the style of the live compositions and her performance. Completely subjective and just my personal preferences at play.  
Talk but not walk?
Yes I am aware of dipoles and how they interact. Been there, done that. @trelja is spot on.   I just feel typing every sonic attribute I am aware of with various pieces of gear and how they interact with rooms would have been far too long a post. ...
