Have you spent much time with the 1.2's before the mods? I'm interested in a before and after comparison given that you're using, among other components, Clarity Cap MR's.
You're investing some serious coin!
Cool - looking forward to your impressions.

Clarity Cap MR on the entire tweeter network, all 12uf and .25uf caps and the midbass/SDA is all ESA.
