OK I admit. I'm a Savard Speaker Freek

So, let me get this right, neither your dad nor any of the original company people have a woofer or two for you to play with? That's a shame.

Wouldn't hurt to set up a search on eBay for drivers/parts units/etc.

I have to admit that's what I was thinking too.

My name is William Savard Jr., and am currently in the beginning stages/considering the possibility of bringing back the line of Savard High Performance loudspeakers. I intend on doing this utilizing new technologies and the high standards of my dad (Bill Savard) and the savard team. I am CONDISERING this project because of the love of the challenge and the satisfaction of bringing back a new generation of loudspeaker line that won more USAC awards during its rein than all other manufactures. I have been working in conjunction with Bill Savard and past Savard technicians whom made up part of the renown SAVARD technical specialist team.

I truly appreciate the help of past fans and members of the Savard team, whom share in the passion and drive of our products and/or abilities. I was referred here by a Savard enthusiast, we enjoy hearing from you as we look forward to your thoughts and ideas. We truly believe that the research done by SAVARD in previous decades, combined with today's technology and a determined team effort will dictate the course of our future. We hope you will be a part of it.

Therefore, I am trying to find SAVARD woofers to further my testing and use as a comparison against my new prototype(s), beginning with the HiQ series. I am looking for woofers that have not been repaired or modified, as to have retained the closest possible parameters to the original specs.


Respectfully,
William Savard Jr.

I have 7 pairs of various models William. Also have access to more from friends if necessary. Glad to see you on here and especially with news of maybe making more. I want the first pair. :music:

Hey folks! Yes I am reviving an old thread ;)
I just picked up a pair of Savard 500 Series today for $30 lol.. Made in 1983 and they are damn near perfect... Cept 1 horn is not working.. And that is what brought me here.. To see if anyone knew of an exact or close enough replacement.. Thanks!

High sensitivity means that they will run up to acceptable levels without tons of watts, hence the fleapower application, or, alternately, a T-amp with a little power, not turned up too loud (this is what increases the audible distortion). They might work somewhat favorably. I've never seen wood that thick used for speakers. I don't mind the weight, I'd be happy if they had no resonance problems, being so stiff. That would be one potential problem whipped.
