i have changed ribbons on d48R three times. Always the problem due to impulses , RCA connection touched by hand etc... i change the ribbons easily. i have tried replace gs2e by gs2i, interesting but the sensitivity pf gs2i is higher so the balance of treble is not the same than the original.
Proac Ribbon Tweeters Damaged
Hi all - this is my first submission, so looking forward to your responses...
I own 2.5 year old Proac D48 R speakers, powered by a Parasound Halo A21 amp (about 8 years old). When listening the other day I thought the speakers sounded dull, muddy. It appears both of my ribbon tweeters have gone out and I am at a loss to understand why. The amp is certainly not under powered to cause clipping damage and I never play my unit abnormally loud - maybe 1/4 to 1/3 total volume.
As you can imagine, my repair/driver replacement will not be covered by warranty as this is not considered a manufacturer defect. I am told the tweeters run $399 per.
Worst thing I can do is have these repaired and then have it happen again. HELP!
