Bill Legal is an excellent craftsman who re-built my AR4Xa speaker drivers. He used a NOS kind of highly flexible wire that will resist ware from cone excursion over the long haul. and dampened the stamped speaker frames for resonance quieting. The result is marvelous sound. Called by some "the improbable speaker" for its outsized presentation, they now sound big and beautiful. Bill is a consummate pro and his wife Loretta are delightful kind people whose mission is to help us in our pursuit of good sound. Oh, and they are organized, good communicators.
Bill Legall-MillerSound speaker driver repair
I just wanted to share a wonderful experience I had with Bill Legall from Millersound with everyone.
I had purchased a pair of pretty rare, no longer made, (the company is gone) full range, single driver speakers from a guy and knew going in that he had damaged one of the drivers by hooking up an amp that was emitting a little bit of DC in one channel. Needless to say, it completely froze the driver solid.
I was told that these weren’t repairable and were really designed to be replaced and not repaired. Enter Bill and Millersound. I told him what happened and he said he could surely fix it, but it might not a “perfectionist” job because of the custom nature of the driver. I told him that knowing his reputation, they would probably be as close to perfect as possible.
Well, I just got the driver back and I was wrong. This thing IS PERFECT! I mean you can’t tell it from the other original driver and it sounds SUPERB!!
I, (along with several others) have recommended Bill many times here on this forum, but I have never needed his services, until now. Man, am I glad I took my own advice. If anyone needs a speaker repaired I give Bill and Millersound my highest recommendation.
He has my business forever…
