Speaker repair sources update
#10

I wonder what the hangup is with that Orange County outfit and electrodynamic speakers, the only real difference is in the type of magnet used? A speaker cone is a speaker cone, as long as the diameter of the cone is the same, and the hole in the center is the same, a new cone will work even if it looks a bit different from the original. I guess what it really is is that they get to charge a bigger markup, and the newer speakers require less thinking to fix. I found one reason not to use the Speaker Shop unless you can drop off and pick up, they are another follower of "The Church Of Brown", I would not entrust that company to ship a bag of manure let alone a vintage speaker. I have heard good things about a place in Oregon that recones, I'm not sure if that is the same outfit I heard of, do they rebuild car radios?
Regards
Arran
