Getting Speakers Repaired?
 
Anyone know of a GOOD place for speaker repairs?

I've got a pair of towers, one side sounded funky like it was blown and discovered by accident it may be a loose connection.

Checked all my connections back to the receiver - good - swapped speakers to make sure it wasn't the amp that had a problem, then turned them over to make sure the wires weren't crossing and causing it to short -

Voila! Upside down the $#*&## speaker worked...:huh:

Can only figure it's a loose connection inside that was completed when upside down.

Used to take all my stuff to Public Sound in Prov - they were excellent - but have tried to call, the answering machine msg. said they were in the process of moving and then the number was disconnected...:mad:

Anybody got any ideas?

Or do folks just throw stuff out anymore - I dunno, figured one of you audiophiles might have a suggestion...I'd hate to pitch these speakers.

Take it apart yourself and save the money. Speakers arent really complicated, just 2 wires.

Try Trader's Cove on lower Broadway. I've had some work done by him and he's been good

Just take them a part and re-solder/re-terminate the wires if they are loose. If its a blown speaker....time for a new pair

Thanks, men - I'll give him a try this week and let you know how I make out - it's a helluva lot easier than traipsing all over the state.

Although I still wish I knew if Public Sound is gonna reopen again somewhere else - those guys were excellent -
