Loudspeaker Modification
Speakers and hi-fi equipment can be modified in order to improve them compared to the standard factory quality. This does not apply to every appliance, but more often than not, a random intervention will make an appliance worse instead of better.
What is modification?
Examples of modifications are the replacement of a number of parts and/or changing the signal route within the appliance. Adding a number of expensive parts does not necessarily mean that the sound will improve. All the different parts of the appliance must blend together, in order to perform properly. You could compare it to placing a formula 1 engine in a family car. The expensive engine is used to deliver a huge performance, but the chassis and the brakes are not adapted to this engine power, as a result of which the car as a whole will become an instable vehicle. When confronted with modifications in hi-fi equipment, we often find that a comparable unsuitable intervention has taken place.
Modifications should be performed by skilful people with expertise in sound and an excellent hearing. A well attuned unit can only be obtained, if the new parts being introduced are adjusted to the characteristics of the appliance to be modified. The person performing these modifications should work accurately, and within each phase of the process he will have to consider the final result in sound quality.
