did an upgrade on the XLS encore passive. was ask by a good fren to assist him.
overall speaker has a good built. bracing on sides, dampen, thick MDF constructions. 12/12db xover with tweeter attenuation + RC contour to give more 'airyness' and parallel resistor to dampen the impedance peak on tweeter upgraded to sonic gen I caps and Mills resistor using 4% silver solder. parts supplied by curve. sound: i like what i hear..   |

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 |

QUOTE(Mov_freak @ Nov 21 2014, 03:18 PM) And Chance GRABBED! The Speaker sounds... FANTASTIC For THAT price range and the size the sound is AMAZING!!! The detail, VERY TRANSPARENT!!!! I am sure the setup had something to do with that... Now that I have the chance to listen to the "upgraded" version, I really look forward to hearing it before the upgrade. MR LIM!!! When is your set arriving!!!! Seriously people, especially the ones who are looking for your first pair of Hifi speakers, seriously consider this!!! My Two Sen   |
