Looking to recone my 10” woofer

[speaker_envy]

Hello. Any recommendations on where to get my 10” woofer reconed? Preferably in the SF Bay Area, but willing to ship. It’s the woofer for my Beovox M75. I did an ugly refoam on it and there is a slight rubbing with voice coil. Speakers sounds good at lower volume, but starts to distort once I crank up the volume.

Have you thought about re-refoaming it? As long as you used a water based glue the new surround should come off without too much trouble.

If you do recone it I would probably recone the woofer in the other speaker as well.

Why a recone? Sounds like it needs the foam replaced and shimmed proper with a new foam so the VC doesn't rub.

Unless done with OEM components (or those designed specifically for the driver under discussion), doing a recone is questionable at best. Many B&O speakers used Philips drivers, so it would probably be easier (and cheaper) to just find a used replacement. But I agree with the above posters. Most likely, a correctly done refoam will fix the problem.
