reconing EV 8"

[moreismore]

I am interested in reconing a pair of EV Wolverine LS8, any links or other imformation?. I live in Toronto,Canada does anyone know of a reputable service that do reconing. If I could get the cones, and some instruction I would do it myself.
Any thoughts?

Try going straight to EV for the recone kit. www.Electrovoice.com
Not sure how receptive they are to selling their repair kits top others. Or you can try one of the many speaker repair companies such as www.circuitshop.com

I don't know if the parts are available for those or not. Call around. Here is one place to try, you could probably find some places closer to home though.

also worth asking...

... Steve Deckert at www.decware.com

Alternatively, try ANY musical instrument speaker reconers in your neighborhood (there are, amazingly enough, a lot of them around). Yes, I know the LS-8's weren't MI speakers, but EV made lots of speakers that WERE, and some folks used even EV FR's in that application, so someone in that line MIGHT just be able to help you.

FWIW, I once asked EV once if they still reconed SP-12's and they said (via e-mail) "no".

Last I heard you could use the EVM12 cones in the 12's and the same goes for the SP15/EVM15. I had heard a rumor that the EVM's where now sadly discontinued so it may be true.
