Oh...

Not sure how to put this nicely.

In the other thread, you showed us your lack of knowledge about capacitors...

Have you checked where that coils Q went, when you fitted it to that thick metal plate?

Frankly, I cannot see any improvement in any of the things you've done to this speaker.
May I ask why you are doing all this in the first place?

If it's an attempt to impress the likes of so-called "audiophiles", you are posting it in the wrong forum, if you ask me.

Dillen,

           In the other thread I was unfamiliar with the original capacitor used in the BEOVOX S45 for two reasons: I did not have the correct photo available to see the original capacitors, or what type they were. 

You kindly provided me with the correct photo at the end of the discussion. 

As for the subject of audiophile capacitors; Judging by our last conversation, I take it that you don’t believe that ‘audiophile capacitors’ actually exist. 

You referred to my lack of knowledge about capacitors, even though YOU did not have a clue what a Black Gate, Mundorf, or even a Jupiter capacitor was! ((As a reminder; Sonicap’s are cheap at around 3-7 dollars each)).

You didn’t even know that the vast list of capacitors I provided in the previous thread; are respected in the hifi world (Even though hundreds of thousands of people in the world are installing them into their HIGH END equipment everyday!!) You can even Google their endless discussions praising the results.

I understand that you are probably a B&O purist who only believes in sticking with the original components (WHICH IS NOT A BAD THING).

You disagree with the idea of changing internal components to something that is not stock.

(( However, not everybody in the world has to think the same as you.  It’s a free country where people are allowed to have their own ideas and beliefs )).

We are not living in a Dystopian dictatorship yet😀

By the way; the coil inside my CX50 is sitting on top of a thick black plastic plate which is not touching the aluminium speaker cover. It is not making direct contact with the aluminium cover.

The speaker aluminium cabinet/rear cover is not grounded either.
