    Come Critique My Woofer Surround Replacement

    Ah, the dreaded foam rot. I picked up a pair of Cerwin Vega R123 speakers last year, but the surrounds were toast on the 12" woofers. After I ordered the replacement kit from Simply Speakers, I had (what may or may not prove to be) the bright idea to record myself working through the whole...

    Altec Model 5s with wrong woofers...

    Hi everyone! I recently snagged a pair of Altec Model 5s, only to realize later that the woofers had been swapped. The cones are blue, dustcaps are tan, and the following numbers are stamped onto the bottom: "841-1019-100" and "137 7409" (see photos). From what I can tell, the impostors appear...

    Yamaha NS-690's with one bad woofer - worth the asking price?

    I can buy a set of NS-690's for 100.00, one speaker has a bad woofer. Magnet issue. Cabinets are suppose to be in great shape. Can I find a woofer and is the price right for the money I have to put into a woofer.

    NS-1000M speakers - not working correctly upon arrival

    Hello, I bought a pair of NS1000M speakers. I discovered one speaker's woofer is damaged and the other speaker only has sound from the midrange speaker. I received over half my money back and plan to repair the speakers. Any ideas on why sound on only the mid range speaker. I can deal with the...

    Realistic Minimus-26 woofer - no sound

    I picked up a pair of Minimus 26s at Salvation Army over the weekend, for the $5 it seemed worth the gamble and they appeared to be in good shape. The timing worked out well as I needed a smaller set to test out my recently cleaned up Pioneer SX-434 which will eventually be connected to a set of...

    Jensen System 500 Speakers - rare find and a nice surprise!

    Thanks to all of you and this forum, ever since I got into vintage stereo I cant pass up on interesting speakers. To keep myself from buying everything I come across, I try to stick with rather rare and unusual model. Plus only if they are sold cheap (under $100). I already made a thread about...

    Why "thinner sound" from Yamaha is better than "bigger warm sound" from other brands

    Well I give you a short , very logically, and testable explanation. A video clip has 2 big parameters for video quality: 1 is resolution ( HD, Full HD) 2 bitrate (Mbps) A lower resolution with a higher bitrate can have a better video quality than a higher resolution with a lower bitrate. Is...

    Wrecked woofers?... Any DIY solution?

    I am not really an expert so I would pretty much appreciate you guys input on the condition of these woofers. Today I got a pair of Wharfedale's Denton XP2's in the mail box. As I was unpacking them I was drooling at how pristine they looked like with perfect cabinets (recently restored) and...

    One Woofy Tower After Reconing Sub

    I have a pair of decent, late 70's Sony towers. A 10" sub, a mid and a tweeter. One of the speakers just resonates bass to the point that it's visibly shaking that subwoofer, even at low volumes. I've switched the wiring left to right, so I know it's not the channel of the amp and have switched...

    New woofers for 1977 Cornwalls?

    I have the itch to upgrade. My '77 Cornwalls still have their original woofers (K-33-Es, I guess). Tweeters and crossovers were both replaced with Crites parts about twelve years ago. Would I benefit from a fresh pair of Crites CW1526C woofers? And heck, may as well refresh the wiring while...

    Strange cross-over problem?

    Hello all. I found some Celestion Ditton 22s at a charity shop for a bargain price (untested) Got them home and found that one woofer was "dead". So I opened them up and had a ferret around inside. Tested the woofer on the second speaker and it is working. After a bit of multi-meter testing on...

    Coral BX-1001 Tweeter. Stamped from a tin can.

    Coral BX-1001 tweeter. Dead-on view. Should reproduce the sound of a tin can rather well. I have one working original ~10" woofer that fits the BX-1001 as well, should anyone be looking for a replacement.
