Just got LOTR last week and am less than thrilled with the audio. Hooke up external sub and that part is fine. Back box speakers not so great. Is it worth upgrading to flipper fidelity or pinball pro? Is it the speakers or just poor audio? My Tron factory speakers sound great compared to LOTR factory. Just want to see what others have done and how happy they are with their choices.

So speaker upgrade probably won't make much if a difference I assume?

Ordered ff speaker kit. I will post back after installed.

Installed ff kit last night. Haven't dialed it in yet but some early observations. Kit is very well done. Bass is noticeably better and can be felt in the cabinet which adds to game. Kind of like a mini shaker. Back box speakers sound better but not dramatically. Sound is still what it is. Not as clear as newer sterns. Guess that is just what you get with compressed audio. I am happy with it but not a gigantic change in sound quality. I'm sure it's not the speakers but the audio compression.
