Friend stopped by and had a listen.
He owns a set of Klipsch Heresy I's and plays guitar as well. (but not big into audio)
First 10 minutes he liked the vintage caps. He liked the "fuller sound". It was a sound he was used to. He has heard these speakers for more than 25 years. At first he did not know what to make of the changes. He kept saying you can pick out every instrument. (new caps)
After 30 minutes and getting acustomed he said you can pick out the whole orchestra. He said classical music lovers would go nuts. (but was still in the vintage camp for rock)
After about an hour he just kept shaking his head and saying I can not believe caps can do that! I just can not believe it!
He said making the motion of wrapping a peice of paper in to a ball and throwing it. (that is what the vintage sound like just krinkle it all up and through like garbage.
He is more excited than I am about the mid cap. He figures he will pick up everything from his guitar favourites.
He said vintage caps instruments never sounded like the actual instrument. At first he did like the pleasing tones of the vintage caps and that sound was always there even if you had no idea what is was coming from.
He also said if that was just the tweeter caps the speakers would be unrecognisable from original once the midcaps went in.
