Cutting to the chase these sound absolutely stunning and come close to trumping my Infinity P-FR&#8217;s in almost every way.<\/p>\n<p>As these original Radials came unassembled with upgraded speakers,  Jensen capacitors,  Audioquest Indigo internal wire, etc, I took the liberty of continuing the upgrade to 1.5&#8217;s by adding new bases, cones, passives etc. (thank you Zygi!).  After fixing various issues with the veneer, I  decided to turn my attention to seal the inside of the speakers with black hole pads that I obtained from speakercity a while back for a different project.<\/p>\n<p>(If anyone is curious, you can do both speakers, top and bottom gaskets, etc. in 6 sheets. &#8211; highly recommended).<\/p>\n<p>I sit here slack-jawed as I can&#8217;t believe the detail and range I&#8217;m hearing from these speakers. When I hear folks talk like this, I usually role my eyes and move on, but the imaging, depth and bass (yes, i said it&#8230;  bass!) that is coming out of these speakers is absolutely astounding. I need to experiment a bit more with different resistors and weighting the passives, but I&#8217;m absolutely floored by what I&#8217;m hearing.<\/p>\n<p>I have a crummy room for audio, but these speakers seem incredibly forgiving of this sin. And when I open my eyes I absolutely amazed at how such small speakers can produce such a large, accurate soundstage.<\/p>\n<p>ok&#8230; enough of the rants, back to the music&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\ndamn&#8230; err, i repeat. damn&#8230; I&#8217;ve just finished assembling a pair of modified Decware Radial 1 speakers.
