Hi AK family, Wishing everybody happy holidays! I recently got hold of a pair of Sony Aiwa SX FN520's at an auction. I think they are from early 2000.

Poking around Design Acoustics PS-10A
Got these recently and am trying to make them work as they should. Testing the sound shows that the tweeters are mostly asleep -- not fried, but not playing as they should either, regardless of the position of the HF adjustment pot. I have a number of various questions about cleaning and... -
Energy Connoisseur C8 Repair (help needed!)
First try at posting something for advice! Last weekend I picked up a pair of Energy Connoisseur C8s in what I'd like to think as "okay" shape. The repairs needed will include (list I've just started, feel free to add more suggestions!) a new woofer (one was definitely blown, the guy told me... -
I would like some help with my Advents please and thank you.
Salutations everyone! I have a pair of Advent Powered Loudspeakers, and I am not sure what to to do with them. I have had them for about five years and noticed one of the woofers are beginning to rot. They are in great shape cosmetically but need refoaming and likely some electrical...
