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.
