Victory is mine!
I just picked up a pair of RS 1.5's from the original owner. Great condition and woofers have been refoamed about a year ago. Some cleaning up, new cloth, caps, etc. are in order.
Here is my dilemma...
Do I replace those large value caps on the woofer circuit on the crossover? There is an 1100uf, 700uf and 150uf. I could string together some cheap Parts Express electrolytics but would these actually be a downgrade over the originals? The originals seem to be high quality and certainly unobtainum. I'm sure the values have drifted some but are my 46yo ears even going to hear any appreciable, sonic difference with replacements?
I'll replace the midrange and tweeter caps (75uf, 75uf, 2.83uf) with poly's.
Opinions?
