I picked up a pair of Bowers and Wilkins dm610i's as part of an ebay purchase last week that I got mainly for the amp (Audiolab 8000A mk3) and CD player (rotel rcd-965bx LE). I already have some nice Monitor Audio Silver RS speakers which do the CD and amp justice, so the speakers are redundant at the moment.
Is it worth fixing these speakers up (they both have issues - see below)?
The dm610i's both have a snapped off binding post, on one of them it prevents the bridge between high/low drivers making contact, but when I cheated and used a crocodile clip to attach to the slightly raised nub, it sounded alright. On the other speaker, it sounds like the tweeter and mid are doing nothing, although I haven't investigated yet to see whether its to do with the broken post, crossover issue, or just a loose wire.
I'll post pics in a while - need to clear some space on the garage bench so I can get good pics, and start to look inside the cabinets.
