Snell speaker repair near Sacramento

Thank you all for the suggestions. Will call Deets tomorrow;

Try Deets Sound Room in Sacramento.

I used Google and searched for "loudspeaker repair, sacramento, ca" and found quite a few firms you might call.

If you're inclined to give it a go, replacing the foam surrounds on your speakers is not very difficult. I did it for my old Audio Note AN/J speakers a couple of years ago following these instructions: http://www.audionote.co.uk/downloads/speaker_foam_replace.pdf

Use white speaker glue (that dries clear). One tip I learned is to play a 30 hz tone through the speaker at low volume to make sure the voice coil is not rubbing. Since the glue is slow drying it is possible to stretch the surround a bit to reposition if necessary. If you hear no rubbing, let dry and test again. Let the glue set overnight and the speakers are ready to use.

I took my time and was patient doing the first speaker. The second one took about half the time. You don't need to remove the drivers from the speaker to do the repair.

Thank you for the responses. I am hoping to find someone local as I am reluctant to ship and not eager to reinstall the drivers myself. I could buy them from OC or Atomic, but would like to find someone comfortable installing them.

While not in your back yard these guys are closer and they do excellent work.

Best of Luck

I would suggest removing and shipping only the drivers that need repair. Shipping the entire speaker is unnecessary.
