    Hey Guys - I recently restored the cabinets & drivers on a pair of old JBL L166's. I replaced the caps on the crossovers with new 4 & 8 ohm ones but when testing, something didn't sound 100% right. When adjusting the L-Pads, I got a lot of cutouts and scratching. I bought some Deoxit which...

    Hi, The L-pads in my L88P speakers are stereo ones, input to pin 1 on top one, pins 2 joined together and pin 3 on bottom one to negative. Is this the standard L-Pad or an aftermarket one?

    Wharfedale W90s - How I Replaced My L-Pads

    Good Day AKers, I have a very early pair of Wharfedale W90s from 1962. These have all AlNiCo drivers and dual ports. They also have 53 year old electronics! The W90s (and other "W" series Wharfedales) have attenuation dials on the rear of the speakers. In most cases (but I don't believe in...
