AR2a pair from the wayback pile ...
Maybe not breaking news but I thought a quick AR2a refurb story wouldn't hurt. Victims are a pair of AR2a in utility cabinet pine ply that are stained a walnut hue. These are the type with 1 3/8" hard phenolic dome tweets like the AR3 and the 2 x 5" fiberglass stuffed cone mids in the plastic... -
KLH Model 17 Woofer Clicking
Just got this beautiful pair of KLH Model 17s, restored caps (wow!) and (attempted to) re-seal surrounds. I recently started thinking I was hearing a rattling from the left and sure enough, there is. Here is a google drive link to video showing the clicking sound at 5 Hz (right in time with the... -
Refurbed KLH Model 30 speakers sound "harsh"
I ended up with a pair of KLH Model 30s with no tweets. I acquired a couple of compatible Model 20 tweeters off Ebay and pulled the Model 30's screw-in woofers to gain access to the crossover. The front panel on these is made of fairly coarse particle board and appears to not like having the... -
Cambridge Soundworks M80 restoration
I picked up a pair of these M80s recently and they are in need of some work. The dustcaps on both midrange drivers have almost completely dissolved. I'm a little concerned about how much of that material ended up inside the drivers, but they seem to sound ok. One of the tweeters is putting... -
BEOVOX MS150 MIDRANGE replacement domes?
I re-foamed my old MS-150 speakers a few years back, and in the process had to glue the voice coils back on the midrange (also labeled phase-link) drivers. That repair has since failed (mostly due to my shotty repair work) and I am looking for replacement domes. I can find plenty of...- Aerochrome

Hello folks, I'm looking to purchase my first set of proper audiophile speakers and have stumbled on some Monitor Audio MA800 Golds for a good price. However, one of the woofer dust caps seems to have some issues (See image attached). It looks to me like the dust cap might need regluing, as it... -

Any way to fix a bad sounding Design Acoustics PS10 Speakers (I may have been scammed)?!
Hi Everyone, The short story is: I now demo all speakers before purchasing used. I did this with a pair of, what looked to be good condition Design Acoustic PS10s (the bass speakers had been re-foamed). The speakers sounded good when purchased, but after I got them home - all highs were gone...- selfilm

Dali 1001 tweeter problem
Hi, Was listening to my cute Dali Blue 1001’s and noticed my left speaker was way quieter than right one. So I checked the left one with my multimeter and yup, it read 16~17 ohms instead of 8... Carefully opened the tweeter and saw the plate on top of the magnet was totally unaligned and off... -

Source for Dynaudio 17W75XL drivers?
Does anyone know of a source for good used or NOS Dynaudio 17W75XL drivers? These were used in some Dynaudio models, many DIY kits of the 80s/90s/ and Totem Acoustic models such as the Mani-2. I have read that Dynaudio themselves won't sell any drivers directly to anyone anymore. -

Hi All, I have spent a lot of time trying to find a site that talks solely about speaker repairs and spares. Unilike with pre-amps, amps and EQs etc. many of us lesser-mortals can undertake speaker repairs as these range from "carpentry" to relatively simple soldiering. There is of course the... -
MartinLogan guts, all over the floor.
Not sure if DIY repairs go here, but I did anyway. I recently bought these Mosaic speakers at a local Goodwill. They were scratched, dinged & molested by crayons. I didn't know anything about them, but a quick Google on the phone told me that they were probably worth taking a chance on. They... -
Infinity RS6 - blown woofers, what are my options?
I just bought a set of Infinity RS6s on Craigslist. From the pictures I could see that the woofer surrounds were shot and needed refoaming (which I read up on here and am confident I could have pulled off), but all else appeared in good shape, and the seller assured me all speakers were working... -
Best resources for self-teaching speaker repair?
Through some fault of my own, I have recently acquired several pairs of speakers--Polk 7b's, Ohm K2's, and EPI T/E 100's--none of which sound quite right. Nothing is audibly not working, but they each sound less dynamic/more muddled than I think they are supposed to sound. It's probably time for...- econeditor

ESS PS-9C troubleshooting
I recently purchased a set of ESS PS-9C secondhand. While they are mostly fine, one of the heil tweeters makes an odd flubbing/ buzzing/ clipping sound on certain bass notes. It is most noticable on kick drums and 808's, though it is not limited to this. The previous owner stated that they had... -
