since i have no soldering skills.. my friend did the crossover rebuild on a pair of Polk monitor 7A's about two weeks ago.

I went with Mills and Solen for parts. The crossover rebuild breathed new life into these 30 yr old speakers. Cost me less than $60 in parts for both crossovers.

I have another pair of the monitor 7's, that I want to have the crossovers rebuilt, but this time using Kimber Kaps instead. In hopes that this will have the same positive level of sound improvement. soundt/banana.gif

Anyone else ever rebuilt their crossovers in any of their speakers? If so, what were the end results?

JP rebuilt the crossovers in the Infinity Quantum 2's that I bought from him. I believe he has a thread describing what he did. The end result is that they sound great.

JP also did Paul's DQ-10's which is documented here as well. i assisted on that project but i didnt really know what i was doing.

i did do my Wharfedale W-60D's with el-cheapo caps, i'm not real pleased with the outcome, they dont sound any better than before the re-cap, so i am planning to put in some quality caps at some point in the future.
