Bill/MillerSound is kinda local to me...about 20 minutes or so. He has repaired MANY JBL Speakers for me in the past. I cant think of any person with more experience than him at the art of speaker restoration. He's probably in his early 70's but still a workaholic. He's got that old school work ethic and as far as Im concerned he doesn't charge enough for his time and expertise. He gets my highest recommendation.
Kudo's to Miller Sound
About a year ago, I noticed one of my 13" woofers, in my Wilson Maxx II's, was breaking up under heavy bass, such as David Gilmour's "In Any Tongue." I figured the speaker was terminal. Peter was kind enough to recommend Bill @ Millersound.com, as a possible means to repair it. Eric suggested it may be a loose dust cover. Many told me how foolish I would be, if I didn't replace the driver with a factory spec speaker. The reason I waited so long to act is I had to drive the speaker really hard, before the problem would manifest itself. Maybe 80-85 db, with heavy bass content. Bill @ Miller Sound advised me it would probably cost $200, to perform a repair. sight unseen. I was going to be out of town for a couple of weeks, so I decided it would be a good time to send it to Bill. Aprox a week later, I received an email from Bill telling me I had a loose voice coil and the repair would only be $40! Wow-what a honest man! I still have my original spec woofer and saved $960, which is what my dealer told me a new woofer would cost. If you ever have a speaker problem, I can whole heartedly recommend Millersound.com. An honest man who does extremely good work. You were right Eric-loose dust cap/voice coil. Thanks for the info Peter.
