Relatively new to the forum, here, but have been building up my tube-based systems in the last year. While I don't normally lurk around weekend yard sales, I stumbled across a set of 4425s today for $30.
I've done the research to know what I've got and have already ordered refoam kits from Rick in Tampa this evening.
What I would appreciate here is comments from others as any other improvements that can or need to be made while I have the woofers out of the cabinet.
Specifically, I'm refering to any xover improvements, capacitor replacements, wiring improvements, etc.
Also, are these monitors designed to be placed on their side - as in the horn and woofer are horizontal?
I'm really stoked with these and *may* get rid of the B&W CDM monitors I have now if these work out with my Mac tube system.
Thanks in advance for your help.
BTW, the posts on refoaming steps are excellent! Thanks to those who took to time to document it - will save me from a botched effort.
Cheers,
David
