speaker capacitors-----leave alone or does it open pandora's box ?


opened up my speakers and noticed that they use Audyn capacitors.        while the speakers sound good, are there better capacitors out there ? and if yes, could these be changed out and if they were, what effect does it have on the sound 


wondering also could  better drivers be bought  for the speakers ?

I would say if you have really not done any tweaking or rebuilding of audio equipment: Do NOT do it.Start with something less dear. Buy a $20 pair of speakers at Goodwill and tweak them!   You will discover you can change the sound BAD as well as good. LOL   If you do go ahead with the idea.   Be prepared for failures, confusion and pain. Also remember the caps need to break in, so they may be the right ones, but you failed to give them the three months they needed...
Hey Toyo,

Many Audyn fans out there, but they do vary. What speakers did you open up and what color are the caps? 

My advice is if you want to play, get the Audyn True Copper 0.1uF caps and try them out as bypass caps to your treble and midrange.

Ah, yep. Try out the TruCopper Audyn's as bypass caps. :) Buy one or two pairs and try them out. I have had good luck with using aligator clips to tie them on without soldering first. 

Be warned, they are physically much larger than the red versions, so don't go crazy buying them until you have some idea of space available. :) 

Best,

@erik_squires 

there is plenty of space available.     

there are 3 red caps and 1 black one......if I was to change the red caps to the Audyn TruCopper.......what will that do to the overall sound ?
