Mods for Avantgarde speakers

that's true. it's a mundorf cap with a 3rd wire which is connected to the cpc circuit. still a teflon v-caps without that circuit sounds a LOT better than the biased mundorf cap!

This thread is getting very quit. is everybody busy tweaking their avantgardes?

Chad, Duelund and V-Cap sound are very different. If you like the organic nature of Duelund caps, V-Caps are not for you.

To clarify, the CPC charged cap is part of the new crossover included with the Omega driver upgrade; does not have to be added if you've already done the Omega upgrade, or bought Omega version to begin.

Hi Face,
thanks. It had Mundorfs in before which i suspect are in the ball park of the V-caps in a slightly hyped sound. I'll probably be shot for saying that, but hopefully you understand my point?

I like the Mundorf silver/oil & the silver/ gold in oils even more so, but the Duelund has a naturalness & image density I really like. It has all the detail but without shouting it. I would call it a grown up listen! I am sure the v-cap is excellent too as many swear by them. I have never seen a shoot out between these fine caps.

I have noticed that a mix of caps brings dividens in some equipment. Maybe not so much in a crossover, but I found in my tube amp the mundorfs shoved or preserved detail to make it further down the chain where some duelunds as coupling caps acted as a naturaliser making sense of everything. Best of both worlds I would like to think.

I have the Duo Omega G2. What if I simply remove the bass cabinet from the stand frame and put it on the floor, adjusting it back to time align the tweeter in the bass cabinet with the midrange horn? Has anyone tried that? The tweeter horn will then be totally free from diffracting off the midrange horn. One could also angle with ease.
