Magnepan found that there was an audible improvement with new caps in blind testing, so if anyone is wondering whether it can make a difference that should put it to rest.
As I recall -- this is something I read in a magazine many years ago -- they weren't able to detect an improvement with air core inductors in double blind testing. I don't know what the conditions of the test were.
Given the problems with DCR, I'd be inclined to do the cap mod and leave the inductors alone. Actually, I'd be inclined to bi amp and use a PLLXO, but if I were thinking of doing that I'd probably take the money and trade them in for a pair of 1.7's instead. :-)
