Mine is Linn LP12 Turntable Pioneer Spec 3 preamp Pioneer Spec 2 PowerAmp 250watt per ch Yamaha NS-1000 Speakers. Total price is around £4,000 or £3,000 for bad condition. My current set up is: Cambridge Audio CD Pioneer SA-9500 II amp Kef Concerto / LS35A(fixing) speakers.

I want to upgrade my speakers, recommendations please. The amp is Pioneer SA-9500 II Source is Cambridge Audio CD36 / Youtube Amazon fire stick / was Dual Cs505-1 record deck.

Is it worth upgrading? Will they sound better and have more detail? They both have the B110 & T27 but the Kef Concertos also have a subwoofer B139.

Is it worth the upgrade? I like to hear detail in my music espeacially in the mids and accuracy to real life.

Ordering some new capacitors for my Kef Concertos (I have 3 pairs). This is called recaping speakers.... The capacitor values on one crossover are: 5mfd 5mfd 7mfd 60mfd 80mfd. What are these in uf? Are they the same values? I am going for Alcap capacitors.

Alternatives and other sites recomendations please espeacially if they are cheaper.

Mine was Rotel RX-802 I was the only bidder no one else bid. Got it for £30 excellent condition, its worth £150 - £200 no idea why no one else bid maybe it was one of those days when ebay had low visitor numbers..... One meter bulb was out but thats minor issue.

Please let me know if there is any valuable stuff in the pile of 'junk' below. Let me know if there is anything worth more than $50
