Dallas DFW speaker crossover repair gurus that you'd trust


Looking for a speaker / crossover expert in/around the Dallas Fort Worth area who can test or upgrade or fix my speakers.  I always have something I'd like an expert to look at but don't trust your normal "speaker repair shops" who are not accustomed to specialized higher end products.

People I WISH were in Dallas:  Danny Richey with GR Research and Bill Legall.

Anyone know anyone?

Is there more of a story here than what's been told so far?  Capacitors are simple to replace and coils almost never go bad. Unless burnt, resistors also rarely go bad and are should be easy to replace.  The only issue sometimes is getting access to the crossover. 

Of course, the other issue is when people want to change the crossover from what the manufacturer designed.  Crossover design, measurement and listening tests are a challenge, so this begs the question of why you want to change the crossover design of a speaker you originally thought enough of to buy.

@dtximages -- I'd suggest the most important thing is to get your hands on a schematic of the original crossover design and compare that to the network in the speaker now.  Hard to know what lead to the use of wire nuts, but that can be fixed by any competent tech. The key is to have correct info about the original design.

@dtximages -- not to belabor the point, but once you have the crossover schematic, any competent tech should be able to determine if what you have in your speakers matches that design, and fix it if it doesn't match.  Even sophisticated passive crossovers don't have that many components -- the original LS3/5a crossover had 16 components which is a high number for a crossover.  We are not talking hundreds of components in a complex design.  Sounds like the hard part of your situation will be finding someone who makes house calls.
