| B&W CDM2 - looking for replacement woofer alternative Just to close out the thread in this forum: With nothing to loose, I first put 3 C clamps on (back of magnet/bottom of frame) and pushed the magnet back in (no gap). Took quite some force. Tested, still scratching (misaligned voice coil). Then m... | |
| Need some advice on replacing a B&W tweeter Also found ZZ12947 as part number for the tweeter? | |
| Need some advice on replacing a B&W tweeter My LCR60 S3 tweeter is pretty mangled, afraid it DOES impact the sound. They are offering the DIAPHRAGM on ebay and other places for little cost (under $20), but not the whole speaker (ZZ12939 ??). How does replacing the diaghragm only work? Any ... | |
| B&W CDM2 - looking for replacement woofer alternative I ordered the driver of a DM601, hope it physically fits. I also took the driver out, and found what is causing the issue. Previous owner (likely when putting expoxy on the small hole in the cone) must have dropped the driver. Magnet is askew to t... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? No. I sent out the amp for repair to NJ. | |
| B&W CDM2 - looking for replacement woofer alternative erik: part out would be the alternative (selling the tweeters, the one good woofer, crossovers and housings). DIY forum already posted, great hands on guys there (a lot less pixeldust to deal with also :-) | |
| B&W CDM2 - looking for replacement woofer alternative Not considering repair, just replacement with something that a) (most important) FITS (phycially) and b) maybe someone close (for example another B&W driver from another speaker). | |
| B&W CDM2 - looking for replacement woofer alternative It is understood that only the original woofer will net the original result. But if that is not a requirement, what other drivers would FIT and have similar characteristics. There are THOUSANDS of example where (particularly for vintage speakers)... | |
| 10 gauge power cord. Too much power for tube amp? Isn't ALL our equipment running on DC (internally)? With all the discussion (in the esoteric faction here) about power to feed them, why is no one making (or offering a stripped down version without power supply) DC equipment (from DAC to amp to t... | |
| "The Ultra High-End Speaker." If you invest upward of (say $250) in an audio system and do NOT BUILD a house (or at least 'barn' or complete addition from ground up) to put it in (including floor, walls, ceiling, power supply (obviously, nothing but a solar powered bttery bank... | |
| Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp? Who has (no or in the past) tested (incl published tests) the DD15 against - old or new - subs in the (new or used) price range? What are strong pionts? What are weaknesses? | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? At $1100k, I would just spend $400k on equipment and $400k to build a suitable listening HOUSE. $300 for nice car to get me from my living house to my listening house with wet bar and tailgating room. | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? Would bi-amping (class D brute plus tube) help? | |
| Bi Amping: highs and lows or a seperate amp for the left and right. "Plus, you can run the tweeters or mids/tweeters from a channel that doesn’t have the burden of driving heavier woofers, which has some benefit too." Not in vertical. There, the amp's ONE channel is burdened, and typical stereo amps share power su... | |
| Bi Amping: highs and lows or a seperate amp for the left and right. Why would I bridge? And what, the amps? if bridging amps, would need 4 stereo amps then instead of 2. The amp is currently driving the speakers without issues, i don't think the impedance changes when splitting low/high? Just that the low will h... |
