    Broken Vifa D26TG-35

    Hello forum members: I own a pair of 3a Midi Master Gen 2 speakers. These are French “bookshelf speakers” from around 1985. Unfortunately, one of the two speakers has recently become defective — the tweeter distorts at even moderate volumes and at certain frequencies in the music. I believe...

    Realistic Optimus 5 tweeter substitute

    In recent week I have done some extensive research about replacing 0705Ac - 4 ohm tweeters. I don`t want to invest too much money in replacing existing tweeters (planning to upgrade caps), so I was wondering if I could use original VIFA 6 ohm tweeters, leftovers from my old Paradigm speakers...

    Unidentifiable tweeters - possible replacements?

    I have a pair of RTR 240D that has a blown side tweet. I pulled it and it has no markings of any kind. Each cabinet has 2 tweeters on the sides of the cabinet, they measure about 2.5". I can't find any specs on these as far as impedance, freq response, etc. I remember stumbling on a sales...

    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...

    Old Large Advents - Fried fried egg tweeter cause/replacement?

    My Old Large Advent has a fried fried egg tweeter. Is it caused by electronic components in the box or a pushed in cage that collapsed the cone and caused the wires to contact the speaker material? I was gifted a pair of old large Advent speakers at the end of a local estate sale. The cage on...

    Hello, I have two JVC MXGT80 systems, including one that my parents got new over 20 years ago, and need some advice replacing the factory tweeters as it seems that everyone, my child-self included, let their curiosity get the best of them and pushed in those shiny tweeter domes (very dumb of JVC...

    MIT Universal Terminator Module T-4 - What is this thing?

    A bit of googling, but still no good information. What is this thing? There was one of these stuck on to the back of each of the very nice ProAc speakers I recently picked up. I immediately removed them, thinking it's a gimmicky or otherwise useless device. Anyone know what it is, what it does...

    One flaccid sounding Rogers LS7 speaker

    Hi folks. I'm having some trouble with a nice pair of Rogers LS7s, a two way design. One speaker sounds great but the other is weak. It suffers from sightly lower volume overall, and from a whooshing sound when ear is next to tweeter, but no music signal coming through the tweeter. The musical...

    ADS l610 Tweeter Not as Bright as the Other

    I just bought a pair of ADS l620s. They sound amazing, but I have noticed that one of the tweeters is just not quite as loud or bright as the other. Both tweeters work and the less bright one still sounds good, just not AS good as the other one. Sounds like it is lacking a bit of definition and...

    CS-77A tweeter (77-702F) original surround material question

    Was the 77-702F tweeter's original surround material grey or brown? I've got a set to play around with and the rotted foam looks grey. Also, was the original foam material flat, or did it have the round shape we are used to seeing with foam surrounds? There is not enough original material...

    How to access caps on EPICURE Model Fourteen (14)

    Trying to find a replacement tweeter for these guys, and decided it was a good time to re-cap. Problem is the circuit board (on which I assume the caps are located) is inside the front baffle, and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to access it. There must be a trick, right? Anyone have...

    Optimus 4s have a woofer two identical tweeters, each of the tweeters are 16 ohm. None of the tweets were working so I disconnected the tweets from crossover and none had continuity.
