Hello Bryan Ganz,
I recently became the proud owner of a beautiful set of Voce Davina Soprano speakers, with the Baritone subwoofers. I heard them years ago, at a friend's photo studio & asked, on the spot, if he wanted to sell them. At the time, he was too busy enjoying them himself. But I'm a patient man, and a couple of months ago I received a very welcome phone call. He was ready to part company with the speakers, as he was moving to a much smaller studio. The speakers remain as beautiful as I remembered them, however, the passage of time has taken a predictable toll on the Focal Audiom TLR tweeters. The diaphragm surrounds have disintegrated. I'd be grateful if you could direct me to a source of replacement diaphragms. The absolute last resort would be a foam replacement kit. Having worked extensively in loudspeaker manufacturing, I'm painfully aware of the deleterious effects of incorrect voice coil alignment. Removing the foam & replacing it outside the manufacturer's tolerances would turn a great tweeter into something less than both you and Focal had so carefully designed. Focal seemingly built the tweeters to be easily repaired with a complete replacement assembly, but I've been unsuccessful in locating these unicorn parts.
Great and gracious thanks for your attention to this inquiry.
