Again, thanks for all the feedback! I will check out these points and see if that could help to improve the performance!
-
Ok, I've been listening to a wide range of speakers over the past years, and my personal perception says that they should have som more bass, especially for their size. I can mention that with "loudness"-effects turned on, the bass is performing more like "it should", but ofcourse, this is my own opinion. I will give them some
-
Does anyone know if this looks like a broken resistor? Both speakers are playing bass in the accurate same way. Those with similar speakers out there, are yours a bit lean in the bass-tones?
-
Woofers are now refoamed and installed properly in the speakers. Tested them today and the lack of bass is still prominent. Looks like the drivers did not affect the result. I have to set bass-settings to max to aquire a somewhat balanced output from the 3 drivers. From what i have read on this forum, these speakers should have more than enough bass
-
I understand your choice of solution, especially because the burned voice-coil. Your result do look (and probably sound) very delicate. I also consider to do this job myself, in an amature way, just ordering what i need from the Netherlands. I had to pay 800nkr for mine, roughly around 100 euro.
-
The thought has crossed my mind, but I'm keen on fixing the original ones since the voice coil seems to be ok on both. Peerless drivers are also a bit expensive, those cost around 100 euro here i norway (for one). I'm on a low budget and if I'm ending up spending a bit of money on these speakers, I think I will be re-foaming the originals
-
Thanks for all feedback! Unbelievable, cabinets are still like new. Jandyt, your thread was exciting to read! I'm considering doing this job myself, mostly because I'm on low budget, but also because it had been fun to re-foam a set of speakers myself. Only question is where to get a set of new dust-caps, if I bother changing them. Do i need
-
I suspect the cheap drivers to be unsuitable for the job and therefore sound weak, but I expect somewhat difference in volume compared to the original ones. To me, nothing seems to be damaged on the crossovers. Overload protector is pressed in, can't see any oxide on it. One thing I could mention is that I'm not testing this with a B&O amp
-
Ok. The bass drivers do move, and it increases with the volume. Problem is that mid/treble are very dominant compared to the bass. Both type of bassdrivers are acting the same way. I have to set bass-settings to max on all the different amp's i've tried, just to aquire a somewhat balanced output from the 3 drivers. Mid/treble seems to be working
-
Even if the foam are rotten on the original drivers, and even if i try other 8-inch drivers in the speakers, there should be some amount of bass. I wonder if the crossovers are faulty. Anyone who has experienced something like this on similar speakers and solved it with a change of capacitors?
