Refurbishing Avalon Ascent Mk 2


After 25 years of service my Avalon Ascent Mk 2 have started to distort especially with classical piano.  I have isolated the problem to both 2" aluminium-manganese mid drivers.  These, I believe, were built by MB Quart of Germany, now out of business and the part seems unavailable.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on how I could bring back these speakers to their former glory. Thanks.

Several years ago, i had an issue with my Isis speakers where I needed to buy a new set of diamond tweeters. What they wanted to charge me was totally out of control and asked that I send the speakers back to Colorado and charge me $5600 just for the analysis. I sold the speakers and said I would never have anything to do with Avalon, and still to this day feel the same. My feeling is that their interests are only in Asia.
