Okay, now we're getting somewhere. If the original gauge is 20 or 22 and Schell recommends 26 magnet wire...

So I think I'm going to replace the internals with OCC in the 20s. I'm using Anticables' OCC magnet wire for speaker cables and really like them but they're about a 14 gauge. If I can find epoxied OCC magnet/transformer wire in 22, 24 or 26 I'll just wire everything up from amp to drivers in the same material.

Anyone have a source? Partsconnexion has OCC in fine gauge bare wire or with teflon or PVC dielectric but not the red epoxied OCC.
