I'm right here.
A capacitor kit is available but to be honest, the RL6000 is
still a fairly new speaker so I'm not sure how much improvement you will notice.
Replacing the caps is not very difficult, they are fairly large components sitting on a standard one-sided PCB board.

Great, thanks. I'll drop him a PM.

By the way, how difficult was it to replace the capacitors? My soldering skills are very basic, but perhaps I can get my father to help.

Best regards

Hi there
I remember on the old forum Dillen (Martin) once advertised his capacitor upgrade (refurbish) kit for the RL range of speakers. Apparently exchanging the old capacitors will improve the sound. As I have just moved and my RL6000 are not installed on the walls yet, I thought I might as well put some new capacitors and check the drives while they are not "in the air".
BUT: Where is Dillen (Martin)? It would be too great a loss if he is not around any more...
Best regards

He's still here, still using his Dillen monica (although I haven't seen him about for a day or two - perhaps hes on holiday). Drop him a PM and he'll send a kit out (at quite a reasonable price - mine was) - payment via Paypal.

He is around ie. registered and I'm sure will pop up as I'm writing this

You will find him ebay as well where he sells his kits.
