as others mentioned... stay away from the car sub replaced pair.. since you are asking which speaker to choose for what reasons and not exactly what is worth what. IMO posting here is just fine.. a MOD can correct me if i am wrong.. cheers Glen

to basically check tweeters bring your ear next to it.. or stay close and wave your hand on an d off it to test if its producing sound.. swap as suggested above.. and check the impedance of both as well.. if issue switches to other channel you're either looking at a gunky ferrofluid (if those...

i received one as birthday present looks like this one , before that i used to do lighters, nail pulling, pliers etc.. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JO6UB7W/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&tag=mybesttools-20&linkId=3a457fd1e3f4c2036544890c65252b30 best present ever !!!

update.. been experimenting with some material and this is what i got so far on teabag applications, i did not dilute or use solutions to ease up application to have a fair comparison between the materials this is on a teabag paper.. so on an actual tweeter textile with harder surface and bigger...

are you talking about a cone to magnet isobaric system here?

pheww... ok update the super 3mm thick surround edges actually worked to my benefit, and i was able to open the surrounds outer edge it looks like if i shift the surrounds slightly and reposition, the rub stops.. hopefully i will be able to align them all only from the surround tuning

while on sine i turn them around in my hand . no difference.. these are tiny woofers, so the directional sagging i guess happened over many many years gradually.. it might work if i turn them upside down and wait for 10 years :P

hi guys.. i know there are a lot of threads on similar matters but the drivers i have in hand seem a bit out of the ordinary and i don't know what to do ... these are vintage goodmans, 5 inch woofers, from dimension 8 speakers. when i first listened to them, i didnt notice any clacks and...

you can get these stuff for 200 bucks in USA.... don't know what to say .. :)

2225 will run any decent speaker happily at it's best.. check what's available in your area preferably rated 8 or 6 ohms.. most guys here are decorated with vintage speakers available in USA .. it will be hard for you to find most recommendations in your area.. might be better if you submit the...

i've been digging in google and old posts.. found threads mentioning shellac, and vinyl plasticizer though i couldn't yet find a product in retail that does this.. shellac doesn't sound right to me .. dome needs to remain soft and flexible like the original.. i ll keep digging , then get few...

hmm if it never dries and shows a fingermark then it is probably some sort of rubber conditioner, like a version of armour all or thicker variations.. these have micro silicon particles that fill in fibres, hence seal rejuvenate and improve flexibility of some materials.. i'd not use that to...

thats tidy nice work.. looks great. hmmm auto gasket sealer is a crazy durable thing.. very flexible too.. thanks for that , it's a good idea.. i ll check if i can find a black one and test on some material that vintage ar stuff i found it but its in USA .. too costly for me to get it...

half way meaning i only lose 1 roll from the total thing. left tinsel unrolled half way to right and right tinsel unrolled half way to left, i didnt unroll half of the bobbin.. it's a minimal price to pay to get a vintage tweeter working i'd say.. may inflict maybe 0.5 ohms or less impedance...

and this is the new patient... it was blown, but i was able to unravel the bobbin tinsel connection left one half way to right, and right one half way to left, luckily the breakage was on the first outer roll.. i guess this is where it gets hotter and blows more often if it doesn't break at...

hi guys i did some work on a silk dome tweeter last week. in a pair, one membrane was replaced with textile while the original was a silk dome type with softer membrane material.. but the composite that was coated on it was crumbly i cleaned it out and all i got was the veil mesh left.. not...

it's like sugar in coffee.. if you keep having it you get used to it.. doesn't mean it's right by science as to what's good for you.. but there is no standard or rule as to what you should like or enjoy.. but then there is that purification process where some drop all the spices and re-discover...

hi guys, thank you all for the great suggestions last night, i plugged and tried every speaker i have home and tested them all. i used all these in the past for intervals, but didn't do an AB comparison properly yet so speakers are b&w v201, mission 731, energy pro 1.5, b&w dm100, canton monitor...

i did try variety of amps in this setup including well regarded higher power ones, but technics suv500 is actually doing better at my desired volume levels than of higher power amps i've tested. power consumption also is a factor.. i had a bigger amp with 900w consumption in there in the past...

maybe using only about 5-10 watts from a su-v500.. usually at quarter volume.. similar volume yields a lot louder music on my living room with delta 70 or ditton 44.. the bookshelves aren't very efficient i guess.. or the room size influence.. maybe the pc soundcard output is weak (asus xonar...

you obviously have some subs.. now place one sub woofer is in front of you, driver facing you, and especially if it is front ported.. have a listen to it then move around the room.. and tell me it sounds the same.. i don't know how to explain this .. it may even be a phenomenon but the direct...

it's not the adjustment... sitting so close to the speakers it is easy to position where the bass is coming from. even in a room normal listening i still don't like subs and avoid them where i can. this is a small room where i sit by pc desk most of the time , its only 3 meter by 3 meter or so...

yes i have a nice little sub right next to me but i don't like the bass from subs it just doesn't feel natural.. i only turn it on occasions like action movies etc.. i am usually happy with the natural subtle bass from low mass high efficiency woofers on my desk.. i was quite happy with the...

i've read about the acetone interaction in some old posts and what you just said was my plan.. glad you mentioned that it doesn't work.. might be handy to restore angle sagged suspensions i guess... in fact i will try that on a vintage passive radiator i have that sagged badly..

these are a pair of mission 731's that were in storage for a while.. the butyl surrounds were slightly hardened but i was able to soften them.. however, i still find the suspension somewhat stiffer than a normal speaker.. this might be due to design in an attempt to make the speaker more dynamic...
