Are you sure it's the speakers fault and nothing else in the system? I would call JM Lab and see what/if is the $ and are replacement drivers available. One thing for sure I personally would replace the Kimber PR spk. wire to the Kimber 4VS/8VS or perhaps to some Cardas. Having owned most of the equipment on your list, I'm thinking your system is revealing and on the neutral/ bright side. The room is the most important factor which can make or break a system, though. There are so many good small spks. out there to choose from! If you want a warm sounding spk. the Spendor S 3/5 is excellent.( Spendor S3/1P also worth an audition.) If you want to try an excellent small spk. for a very reasonable cost($300 new retail) I recommend an audition of the Energy "Connoisseur" C-1. Superb loudspeaker. Good Luck!
Repair or replace My JM Lab Micron Carats
One of my speakers has developed a bad, I mean nasty, distortion at mid+ volume in mid-low range. Nothing is visually there but you sure can hear it. Is it worth repairing(is it even possible?), or should I replace them. If replace, any recomendations are welcome. I think my budget is about $1500 or less(haven't discussed with my wife yet), the rest of my system is:
Creek4330 Int. Amp
Music Hall MMF-5 Turntable
Rotel RCD-02 CD Player
NAD C440 Tuner
Kimber cables (I forget the number but they are brown/black)
PBJ Interconnects
Dedicated Line and Cryod outlet
