Has anyone ever successfully upgraded the components of a store bought speaker?
The reason I ask is because the NHT SB-2's seem to use very good quality drivers...not entirely sure but the tweeter seems to be a Seas tweeter and im not too sure about the mid.
The crossover itself appears to be made up of just 2 capacitors, 3 resistors and 2 almost microscopic inductors. One inductor an Iron core, the other is actually a relatively small air core inductor.
So, instead of building a pair of DIY speakers for the PC, I thought it may make sense to take these SB-2s i have laying around and improve upon their already very decent performance.
My guess is the standard dayton/solen caps would be a major upgrade from those currently found in the speaker. Mills resistors and maybe some 18ga perfect lay inductors would be cool as well... Anyone think this is worth doing? (assuming I can find the exact values of everythuing in the current crossover?)
