I've read most of the threads on both creating your own replacement speakers in the B/W games, as well as the quality of the Flipper Fidelity system, and I am still on the fence of what to do in my DW. While I don't mind putting in the time and money for either solution, I'm still on the fence about the FF system for a few reasons:
1) I keep thinking I can get a better result with custom speaker components, but admittedly I hear nothing but good things about the FF kit in terms of engineering and component quality. I am comfortable with the technical aspects of creating my own, and I don't mind cutting a speaker panel to put in larger speakers (have an extra already) in the backbox if that gets a better result as well.
2) On the flip side, I'm not certain how much quality there is to "improve" really in the underlying DW sound bites anyway. If there isn't much quality to go after, there's some appeal in getting the FF kit to just drop in as a solution since it really won't matter much.
3) I will probably at some point spring for a Pinsound board. Not sure how much that make a difference.
4) I have no desire for an external subwoofer (which I also don't think would make a difference with the DW sound clips.
I'm sure if we were talking about IJ or TZ there might be some consensus on this, but I'm just not sure how much there is to improve here in this game. Would appreciate any thoughts or experiences....
Thanks!
