QUICK QUESTION ABOUT S45 CABINETS

 

I am about to refurb my S45's with new: crossover caps/resistors, internal wiring, and cabinet cleaning up

 

Now while I am at it I was going to stiffen the cabinet, but before I commit to something of this sort, does anyone know if the cabinets follow the BBC LS3/5a thin walled construction? if so, then bracing the cabinet would be a terrible thing for the sound

Why? I have both S45.2s and LS3/5As and both are great speakers. If they had needed more bracing, B&O would have done it. The S45.2 sounds better than it has any right to. A good recap and refurbish should be fine. Don't gild the lily.

Your answer is as I anticipated.

That said the crossover board is a tad messy
