Should I recap my speakers? If so who can do it?
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. 
Should I recap my speakers? If so who can do it?
Well one does need to know more.  First off the Theta does not come in the values needed for many locations in this speaker.  One would be forced to buy many and begin paralleling to the point that the board would not fit. For example you would ne... 
Should I recap my speakers? If so who can do it?
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... 
Should I recap my speakers? If so who can do it?
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?

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 ...

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. ... 
New Audiogon equipment search format.
Still waiting to post ads. It does not take long to just go back to the old system.  Please just do it. Why wait until you build this hybrid system allowing for both? Go back to the system we all want now and in the future, when the hybrid system ... 
Talk but not walk?
No, one cannot know exactly how a system sounds from a picture. Well, they can actually get a fair idea sometimes. If I see a big TV screen in between the speakers on the same plane , then I know what that does for sound. Same for many speaker pla... 
Talk but not walk?
Agreed in that no way many could have rooms as shown on Tuneland. I did post on Tuneland that I could not add all those platforms and wood pieces around my room. That may be why I am not getting any help there.  Those are pretty strange looking sp...
