Dear Ecclectique,
its very interesting to follow such nice threads like this one. My main speakers are Tannoy Canterburys, first series, may be late 1980s, no HE. Two years ago I changed the tweeters cap for one Mundorf silver supreme per crossover (which was easy to get for me, because I live in Cologne where the Mundorf factory is located also). My experience was, that the first months, bass response was very weak and it lastet more than a year before the caps had been running in. My Question: Did you experience also an enhancement when changing the rest of the crossover, in particular the resistors? BTW, it is funny, that Tannoy now claims to offer a highly revised crossover, coming along with the relatively new SE series. But in earlier days they never gave two cent for better parts in the Xover...
Just one recommendation: If do not use it anyway, please try the ST200 super tweeters. They give a much more complex and
more colorful overall presentation to my Canterburys which I also could value in a shop listening to a Westminster with a dramatic improvement to my ears.. Paradox is, that also bass
response seems to be better. And overall, you get much more 3D feeling.
In the web you can find a pdf white paper from Dr. Mills, Tannoy, regarding the effects of wide band presentation especially in combination with Tannoy coax drivers.
I would be glad to hear from you regarding the crossover,
Kind Regards,
Heinz
