....SPEAKER REPAIR Because the cost of new speakers
has not fallen like other consumer electronics, it is almost always
worthwhile to get your speakers repaired.
The most common speaker failure is what we call "foam dry-rot".
This is where the foam suspension on the outer edge of the woofers will
deteriorate over the years and begin to crumble. When this
happens, the sound will be raspy or you may hear a rattleing sound
along with the music. The best way to find out if you have this
problem is simply to remove the grills and inspect the woofers.
If in doubt, touch the foam and press in lightly. Also, look for
any small tears or cracks in the foam surface. We can replace just the
foam which is not only cheaper than replacing the woofers, but
will maintain the original sound characteristics of your
speakers. The second most common speaker failure is that of
"blown" tweeters. Because of the small, delicate voice coil
wires, it is usually the tweeters that get damaged when too much power
or distortion is applied.We can either replace a tweeter with the
manufacture's original, or find a comparable replacement that will meet
or exceed the performance of the original. If you have some old
speakers you don't need, we also make offers to purchase them as-is.
