How do I get into a Vandy?


I've got a pair of 3A Sigs. and would like to get into the speaker, but need some instructions on how to release the "sock" without causing any harm.

I would guess that my first step is to pry out the panel on top of the speaker. However, I'm hesitant and would very much appreciate the help of anyone who has gone through this exercise.

Thanks,
Brian Elliott

Pull the base, not the top, then the sock is usually stapled and glued to the bottom. Pull staples carefully of course, then work sock down carefully, just as a nylon hose on a beautiful woman lets say. If you are careful you should be able to access all drivers without removing speaker terminal.
Just now got to read all this, fortunate to say I have done both, one with more satisfaction than the other. I do just have to tell all of you that if your not careful, you will wind up with problems on both, and that the Vandersteen is a lot easier to fix.
