Definitely big difference. In fact i posion the owner to upgrade further to flat copper foil inductor soak in wax for more harmonics n separation..hehe
i have removed the tweeter bypass cap 0.1uf as its not needed since the new main value caps are of similar grade unless its a sonic teflon caps. the speaker will be at my place in PJ till this sat only. Owner taking them back. Ur welcome to drop by for an audition |

Hopefully, it will be there this or next week.I understand from Mr Lim he is finally getting a unit in to his shop. Looking forward to finally trying out the X-LS Encore. Please extend my apologise to your friend for not taking up his invite. Cheers Sorry for taking this long to settle. |

I am glad you like it eventually. Perhaps the next upgrade will be damping material? No-Rez, anyone?i have removed the tweeter bypass cap 0.1uf as its not needed since the new main value caps are of similar grade unless its a sonic teflon caps. the speaker will be at my place in PJ till this sat only. Owner taking them back. Ur welcome to drop by for an audition I will definitely want to audition, too bad I am in over-the-sea-Sarawak now. What your owner used to run the speaker? |

We have requested to change the PVC port to MDF due to sonic differences not the cost. In fact, they cost almost the same. MDF port has less resonance compared to PVC. We have a reference here from the original AV123 with PVC port, to compare with. |
