Re: "Buzzing" noise coming from mid/woofer

Hi Bob
"I think that it is just a matter of the driver starting to come loose from the surround"

By this do you mean the surround that connects the cone of the woofer to the basket or something else?

Generally when the foam surround on a driver gets old (8-12 years) it will start to feel sticky to the touch and will fall to pieces. When this happens the voice coil will start to rub in the gap. Any electronics repair shop will be able to install a new surround and restore the driver to as new condition for a fraction of the cost of a re-cone provided all of the parts are in good condition.
