Last week there was a wonderful thread (4343mod) about upgrading older factory crossover components to today's technology and materials.
I must admit, I liked everything I read, and now while I've got my N333 out for inspection (no signal to the 077) maybe I should consider making the upgrades.
Not that the L300's sounded bad...but who knows what I may be missing.
The only issue I 've adressed is the originality and since I don't consider the L300 a collector piece (not yet), and I have no plans on selling them anyway...why not?
But back in my mind, I remember "hot-rodding" a couple of Gibson guitars years ago and grew to regret it . Today they'd be highly collectible:banghead:
Any thoughts?
Also, I was very lucky to have been able to remove enough of the foilcal to get at that last screw underneath without damaging it. I took one of those snap-off box cutter razor blades and tapped it with a golf tee so as not scratch the baffle. I used a clothes iron to heat the glue under the foilcal .
