I would think you could once you pull the existing cap.  It's only on the tweet and you could run a bi-wire configuration.  I think my cap is actually soldered to the terminal.    You could go speaker wire to cap to post.

They have been hooked up and playing for a couple hours now. I love um'.

The Clarity Caps are fine with me so far. They have a nice bite (what a nice budget Cap). Nice timbre as well ....loving how the 8" with wave guide is pretty much running full range. Integration of the bass is spot on. Loving the musicality. Imaging/detail and soundstage.......very, very good. All in two hours + now .....yes. Running my Mullard's for Inputs/ZMA.

I decided right out of the blocks instead of using my Kimber 8TC and copper monster jumpers or the stock metal....to use my Kimber KS6063 Speaker Cables (it fit~yes) and my Kimber AG Silver jumpers. Spot on ~ spot on. The smoothness of instrumentation within instrumentation the KS6063 lets through this 8" is goooooooooooood. The AG Jumper's are not to hot going up top to the Tweets.


Might I decide to put Mundorf MCap Supremes in them? Sure, maybe? Right now though....I like they are an different animal from my stellar Adagio's. But, stellar out of the blocks, the 947's are too. Receiving them broke in is awesome!

.....back to Listening, before I have to shut her down at 5 and go grocery shopping with the better half.  :'(

PS-I forgot how well built these Speakers are! The Monolith Horns are very well built too.
........Running on the 8 ohm taps of my ZMA....will try the 4 ohm tomorrow.

stone

glad they got there safe and that they've found a new home!
ive heard them at steve's with zma and torii mkV (proto) and loved them too (thats why i bought them).
i was hoping to hear them with my super zen on order... probably wouldn't have sold them if the super zen got here first!

i still have my maggies and my betsy/augie combo to keep me smiling.

anyway, enjoy and keep us updated on any tweaks.

Stone,
So you are returning the Tektons??
I thought that they were the best thing since boobies?

Jesus Christmas, pardon my French.....but, I should have bought these Speakers 3 years ago!

ZDSD/ZMA/Kimber Select/Monoliths.....matches made in Heaven.

I don't want to go to work!

Thanks Lon and you are a well deserved retired man. I remember your trials and tribulations with your boss down in Texas and whom you have lost. Only peace and happiness to you sir.

Steve seems to really like the Monoliths and HR1s with the ZMA.  I would have gone the Monolith route over the HR1 but Steve said I could get away with the HR1s close to a wall whereas the Monoliths do better with more room to breath.

I've been hoping you'd get some HR1s in someday but it's nice to hear your impressions with the Monoliths.  I didn't do much comparing.  I replaced some Monitor Audio RX6s with the HR1s and there isn't much comparison (5Xs the cost!).

Thanks Lon, appreciate it.

Archie, I should have got the HR1's, instead of my Adagio's...same price range. However, after I modified the Adagio's....my ZMA loves them. I look forward to comparing. The Monolith's are incredibly compatible and profoundly musical with my ZMA. No hyperbole, .....I am so pleased. Plus, I finally got a deal in this damn hobby on them....instead of losing my shirt (when I sell/part with Gear). Trip, received a great used price on them....and that was passed to me. At $1205.00 delivered to my door/Stone happy!
.....The Adagio's might be restored with their original x-overs and on AgoN....come June....I will hear/see?!

Wow Jeff of A, ....you have an awesome System and HT with an Ultra...I'm jealous. Look forward to your impressions of the Saho's, Betsy' and 947's. Yes, .....you won't ever sell your 947's.....I now know why! Now, that I have a pair in my Room with my ZMA....I'm kicking myself....I did not get these 3 years ago (or the HR1's). Worth every penny brand new, Lurkers out there.

My brother came up with a phrase to denote taking care of an elderly relative: accelerated living. It was pretty catchy. We helped our Mother out during her final years. Mom thought the expression was straight on.

Three weeks in on the DM's, that sent the Tekton's away. Now, with further A-B-A'n.......they are bidding adieu to the Adagio's too.

The air space around instrument images and the decay's....and detail without hype + tone/timbre is spot on......super soundstage and I totally get the PX Clarity caps with these Speaker's. Plus, the integration of my OB Bass with these Monoliths is seamless. Comb filtering subjectively, is not happening here. Just great music coming through.

Taking some nice pic's of the Adagio's next week and listing them.
....this is good news for my Decware 6C33C Mono-block's ~ 15 Steve Deckert watts per ch/TRIODE Amplifier's FUND.

Time to do some input tube rolling and inverter.

DM947 Monoliths that is, have won me over. The cool part is, with the flick of a switch on my plate amp.....I get to add the Caintuck Alpha 15" OB. Which of course, is not needed or applicable to all recordings/tracks. So, that is used in and out as you can imagine.

The Adagio's modded do not dig the OB's with their Transmission Lines.....which is fine...they are a different beautiful transducer in their own way/right. I am going to keep them around longer....... .

Posting to Facebook or AudiogoN is easy. Posting here is to hard and I'm lazy (just kidding about the lazy part  ;D). PM me your number and I will text you a pic or two.

I saw your pics ....nice System and room treatments. I have poor mans room treatments....but they work.
