I removed the wadding from 2 speakers - some tatty Mission 70mk2s and my newish Usher s-520. I was going to have the Missions modded by Russ Andrews to replace the crossover with a single capacitor (something they were promoting at the time, and still are, I think) but the charge for this was around...

CUBE1 Review I've owned quite a few brands of speakers over the course of the last 30 years, in roughly chronological order: BLQ1, Epos ES14, Linn Kans (3 times), Heybrook HB1, Mission 70mk2, Rega Ela Mk1, Impulse H6, Royd Eden, Mission 753, Usher s-520, Harbeth P3ESR...and probably a few more that ...

Cool. Looking forward to your thoughts on it...

Value is obviously an individual concept, but you could look at The Beresford Caiman SEG for £300, the Cambridge Dac Magic Plus for the same or the Cambridge Dac 100 for like half that.
