I'd like to hear your opinions on how worthy you think these mods would be. These are a great set of speakers, but I am not sure how much of a difference in sq these mods will make and whether they will be worth it. I know some of you criticize computer speakers of being inferior, but I already love the sound of the mx5021 and I would love to make them sound better,
I can understand why upgrading the op amp to the burr browns will make it sound better, but I am still skeptical on the effect of replacing the stock capacitors with more "audiophile quality" ones especially the ones in the subwoofer.
If I do decide to go with this mod, would it be okay to mix "audiophile" capacitors from difference manufacturers?
Your opinions and comments are more than welcome.
