    Lots of real estate on those boards for experimenting. How do you like those Obbligato copper series compared to the much pricier Sonicap?

    I've found obbligato caps are a little similar to the Jantzen house sound... Brighter side, very detailed with excellent soundstage. I wouldn't recommend them for a tweeter network unless it was a very warm speaker. They will work great in midrange and woofer circuits though.

    Great...now I've got "Mr. Roboto" by Styx in my head.

    Another monitor 10 with grenadillo wood, extremely hard and dense but stunning!

    Awesome...I have two pair of Polk 10 monitors in storage, with 'upgraded' crossovers, but now the bar has been raised.
