If you had to choose only one upgrade for the RM30s what upgrade has the best sonic improvement? I realize that each upgrade may have some advantages; however, I don't want to turn a $3880 pair of speakers into a ~$6K set of speakers. Thank you again,John
John,I would definitely go with the MLS cabinets. Other upgrades can be done if you are inclined to do so later, but cabinet can't be easily replaced. I would seriously consider the CDWG when they become available especially if you can't always be in the sweet spot all the time or if you want to share your sound with more than 2 in your living room.
Actually the cabinet is fairly easy to upgrade. All you do is gut all the parts and mail them back so they can be put in a new cabinet.

I've decided to go with the following:1) RM30Ms in light oak (std. cabinet) with SR71 treatment2) Dedicated Sub in light oak (std. cabinet) with Megawoofer and SR71 treatment. (I have limited room and can not fit the 215 or larger sub)Although the MLS cabinets come in some great finishes my current living room has oak furninture and I would like to match the wood finishes. If anyone has any suggests or improvements on the above system I welcome the suggestions.Thank you,J
John,I am getting the smaller amp (500W version instead of 1000 W) from Parts Express. The max RMS for the dedicated sub is stated as 300 W and the smaller amp seems a good option. Do you think I should go with the larger 1000 W amp?Thanks,J
