Quick question,

Have tried to sell my 7200.2s and no takers. Would it be worth having them recapped instead of selling? Still sound great as little use. Reason for selling was to upgrade to 5200SE.

New in 2010 and upgraded in 2012 to .2.

Any thoughts or experience of a recap welcome.

Not only legacy believe me but I will do a write up later this week.

It's not very hard to do but it requires a little bit off patience and you being a little handy.

The PSU parts of the DSP8000 are purely transformers and don't degrade, so there isn't anything to do there...

I found that the amplifier boards in my DSP8K Anniversaries badly needed a re-cap - several had popped and others were leaking - Not a job for the faint-hearted!

If your mid-range drivers are the 8-bolt drivers (from the earlier 8Ks), then they are no longer available, the six-bolt drivers should still be available.

I've not changed the surrounds on any speakers, I can see that it could make a difference although there are ways of rejuvinating the existing surrounds.

Cheers,

Steve
