In other news It looks like I am going to take the plunge since I have the speaker apart anyways to upgrade both the woofer and crossovers.
what a project this is turning into haha
edit: and to be clear im not doing that myself, looking at vr3mods right now
You'll be glad you did. I've had both upgrades done to my 15's.Quote:

And you guys really think the upgrades are worth it?
Total cost is going to be $775 for the crossovers on the LSi15s and LSiC as well as the woofer upgrades for the LSi15s
Crossover upgrades are a must do to get the most out of a pair of speakers unless they came with top notch components already in them. If you plan on keeping them I think you should do it, but only you can decide if it's worth it.
Of course I understand English.
Do you not understand the Power of suggestion and insinuation?
Or do you think you are the only one that can read between the lines.

I haven't done my center yet, so I'd love to hear your impressions once you get them back and have a chance to listen for a while.
It is great to hear so much good feedback about the upgrade, good chunk of change so its nice to hear its worth it.Quote:

My UPA-1 is still "working fine" so no update there
missed the boat on those DB840 woofers, amazon had them for $45 each (Prime eligible even) and they are out of stock now, hopefully they get them back
Oh you have your UPA-1 back home already?
You have it hooked up and running without issue?
Same serial # does it looked like its been worked on?
no, sorry for the confusion. it Is still at emotiva and they say its working fine still. It has been there over a week already, at this point its like either replace something on it or just send it back...Quote:

UPA-1 has arrived back, haven't decided what speaker I want to guinea pig on it yet though. (thinking my cerwin vega's since they are fused)
Replacement crossover and tweeter arrived, the front 3 crossovers are on their way to Trey to be upgraded. Ordered the replacement subs for $90 for the pair :D
WOW..... you would think that someone with over 25,000 posts would be less of a D-bag. hahahaha

Speaker/amp wise I am in good shape now. they are all working
Cant get my DVD-Audio discs or SACD's to work with the UMC-200 though (the SACD player is set to do PCM over HDMI since the UMC-200 doesn't support DSD)
alright all issues have been resolved now. Since all of these upgrades my mids and highs seem great on my lsi's but the bass seems rather lacking, I am hoping it is just that the woofers need to be broken in but they seem rather lacking in the low end (I know they wont replace a real sub but they just seem rather sad right now)
Blindsay..Your LSi's will be ok...crank the bass up for a lil get them new 8" too losein up some.
