Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

People upon occasion have asked me to "look at" their beloved old loudspeakers

Nearly every time, the woofer surrounds had become porous or even just half there. Beyond "see-through."

Ah! That's why the bass is not as full as you remember.

Now, if PS Audio had been able to source replacement drivers and replace all the worn parts, OK!

But if that is not the case, buying a "bargain" collector car is usually marrying a money pit.

I think it's the same for loudspeakers.

There was a pair of small Wilson floorstanders. When I removed the grill, about half a cup of black dust hit the floor. It was what was left of the woofer surrounds.

For $75,000, PS Audio can give the happy new owner a 5-year guarantee.

IMHO.
