The midrange driver on one of my B&W 802 stop moving. i listed it at ebay but decided to pull it out and make it a project to fix it. Madisound suggest replacing the capacitor which i did and to my surprise, it did work and it sounds damn good. now i am in a process of replacing all the capacitors since they are about 30+ y/o (the bad speaker first to compare the sound between original and modified). i am installing different brands of capacitor (mostly poly cap some electrolitic) to match the value and fit the tight space. I bought some Mundorf Supreme and Clarity Cap for the tweeter and midrange section and will install them soon. The base is a little louder with the new capacitors. hopefully they will balance out once i replace the capacitors in the tweeter and midrange area. Any other suggestions? i also uncouple the 6 diodes to eliminate the protective circuitry. These are my speakers, they are 32 y/o Crossover at the bottom of the speakers, tight space replace electrolitic capacitors disconnecting the diodes disconnecting the diodes
