    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...

    KEF 103/3 Subwoofer Shot? What Now?

    Hi, I own a pair of KEF 103/3 speakers. One of the woofers works fine, and the other has a bad voice coil rub. The bad woofer is quiet and distorted. I read some things in the forums about fixing a voice coil rub, but the issue is that in these b200 sp1217 woofers, the voice coil gap is tiny and...

    ProAc Tablette 50 - bad surprise when I got them home

    Purchased a pair of ProAc Tablette 50 mini monitors from a nice local couple. They'd wrapped the speakers in towels and had them stored in boxes for many years, and finally decided to sell them. They're pristine. But they stored them in possibly bad orientations in the box, on the side, and...

    Testing a KEF 103/4

    So I’m looking to buy a set of used KEF 103/4 speakers. I’ve read a lot about the foam on the bass drivers failing and causing the voice coil to rub and fail, and the ferro fluid drying out in the tweeters. I can handle a basic refoam, and refilling the ferro fluid doesn’t seem too crazy; but...

    Wharfedale W60 score! Now what? (vc rub/re-cap)

    Good Morning friends- I wanted to share my good fortune at obtaining these lovely early dome cone tweetered (not the purple pancake) Wharfedale W60's. (Actually a long time ago, but finally getting around to playing with them. Also, I have questions. Hooked them up, and the sound is "meh,"...

    Dynaco A25 bad re-foam or woofer problem?

    Youtube link below says it all but I got a pair of dynaco a25's for $95 yesterday and it was a public meet up thing so I couldn't test them. On one the voice coil rubs which you can hear while testing with the hand pressure method. My question is what likelihood is it being a bad re-foam job...
