Dan, I have Odysseys with new panels and I upgraded all the caps to Mundorfs about 8 years ago but am still in the upgrade game. I'm curious about: what woofers you used to replace the stock ones and are you running one amp for both woofers or separate amps for each woofer? Thanks.Yep I just about have my Odysseys dialed in now after bypassing the passive crossover to the woofers. It was a simple straight forward process and the results were excellent and not minor, the speakers sound so much better now the bass is much quicker and cleaner. I bought my Odysseys 2 months ago they are 21 years old and I have a new pair of panels on order, one of my panels is in the check out line but still sounds great up to moderate volumes. I did replace all 4 of the woofers when I bypassed the passive crossovers as well. If you simply disconnect the passive crossover by taking the wires off of the low frequency binding posts and taping the wire ends and leaving them in the enclosure you can go back to the passive crossover any time you want. Put your own wire in directly from the binding post to the woofer and you are good to go. You’ll have to play around with the settings on your dsp to get it just right.
I only use dsp for bass, i use a passive analog high pass filter for the panels sounds great, dsp for the panels to much smearingAround 2014 my friend had a MiniDSP on his (my former) ML SL3, and because it first did an A to D conversion, it sounded pretty bad in the top end. But for the bass it was good. Can you get around needing to A-D the top end with today's MiniDSP? Sources are sometimes analog.
Sorry for the delayed reply, I was out of the country and wasn't keeping up with "the usual stuff." I replaced my Odyssey panels about a year ago and the only snag was that when I screwed one side into the wood side rail there was a 15mm gap on the other side between the new stat panel and the wood side rail. I removed the screws and, while gently pushing the two wood side rails together, fastened the top screws on both sides and then worked my way down. Did it myself though a helper could be useful. Marginal sound improvement as the original panels weren't shot. I considered it a preemptive strike. I'd had them for 12 years and bought them new from a dealer who had them unboxed in their warehouse area for probably 5 years.Dan, I have Odysseys with new panels and I upgraded all the caps to Mundorfs about 8 years ago but am still in the upgrade game.

I had some difficulty putting on my Prodigy panels too, but like you I finally worked it out.Sorry for the delayed reply, I was out of the country and wasn't keeping up with "the usual stuff."
