High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

Hi everyone.Well I am gutted .Took delivery of a "mint pair" off ebay today.After having read about the the bad caps in the crossovers.I checked these out strait away.One Driver looked like it had been damp and the surround is really lose and the other looks like the suround is really stiff so basiclly the compliance of the 2 drivers is radically different.Further investagation of the tweeter revealed that perhaps actually the coil is still intact.I have discovered this problem with old foster horn tweeters.Where the minute aluminium tabs comming of the voice coils corode and break here.I believe the flux in the solder eats the aluminium.Come to think of it .I have had this problem with JBL 375's as well.Catch is I have to dig back into the diaphram and try to solder a lead out wire onto the aluminium.

Anyway very discouraging.I have been trying to get my hands on a pair of good corals ever since I picked up one coral beta 8 many years ago.
What is this post all about? I dont know .Vintage drivers can break your heart.Vintage drivers with aluminium voice coils seem to be a problem for me. Does anyone have one of these they want to sell? or even a tweeter.Thanks for looking anyway.I am off to leave this guy top feedback in the hope that he leaves me good feedback in return having neglected to do so untill he sees mine no doubt.Aint it great .This dont sit well with me doing so.My father loved HIFI loved buying and selling and collecting it.Never did a bad deal always was honest and open.If someone ripped him off.He wouldnt winge about it.I would say dad your a sucker why do take this .He would repley as always something to this effect .Son its only money I wont deal with him again dealing like that is his loss.I never really understood but now I think I do.His reputation was more important to him then money.Strange enough after all these years it's sort of rubbed off on me I guess.I never ceases to amase me what ppl will do for money.If ppl say somthing is good I stupidly believe them.I get caught preety often and my g/f says blah blah in my ears.Sounds so familiar now.Its only 168$ I paid for them.But now I have to go lie in a feedback colum to keep my reputation for being a honest ebayer in tact.I dont know what I will do.

This is wrong where did the world go wrong? I used to winge "they dont make anything like they used too everthing is crap these days nothing lasts" But now I realise these PPL are all of us.They dont make anything to last anymore because "we dont want to pay for it" We are losing respect for ourselves each other and everything we want to posess.We want everything now we dont care what .We just dont care its all about ourselves taking and not giving and soon there will be nothing good.all the old stuff will be gone .No more to find nothing left.No comunity no love no respect............
