Has anyone lost a KEF tweeter?
@steve59  Thanks for the tip, but they (KEF) told me I couldn’t get the UniQ out and that it has to be done at their facility. So it’s looking like I’m sending it to New Jersey, next week.  
Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined?
Being retired, I have more time than ever to read , but the only magazine I’m currently getting is Stereophile. Mostly because the ads that lead down various rabbit holes. I read the threads here for the same reason. Having said that, with almost...

Sorry to hear about the transformer noise. It will probably be easier to replace the transformer. I have a power transformer that hums all the time, but it never changes, so I just turn it up a little more. 😃  
Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options?
