	I'm thinking about modifying my speakers and would like to hear
some feedback from anyone that has had success (or failure) with this
before.  I'm not going to do anything 'drastic' like redesign the
crossovers yet, just upgrade components for now.  What I plan to do
now is rewire with Kimber (sp?) cable, replace the capacitors in
the crossovers with some high grade polypropylenes, maybe try bypassing
the caps with .01 uf's, and put in some bigger binding posts.  These
speakers have potentiometers to control a +/- 3dB boost/cut on both
the tweeter and midrange driver.  I am considering replacing these with
fixed value resistors.  Please mail (or post if you think it is of
a general interest) any suggestions or comments.  BTW, the speakers
are Yamaha NS690.
