Can anyone recommend a replacement capacitor for the one in the picture.I do not have the ability to test to see if it bad.
Here is my problem and what I have done.Replaced all speakers in the B&W 685 speaker boxes.Replaced inductors in both boxes.My problem is one speaker sounds lower in volume than the other.After playing music for awhile the speaker box that is giving me problems all of a sudden pops into place and all sounds good.I thought maybe it is the amp or cd player but used a different amp and cd player.I thought it was a bad speaker and ended up replacing all them.I replaced the inductors... still the same problem until it has played for awhile and then it pops into place.
I am not all that technical when it comes to capacitors and what little I have read indicates that the capacitor builds a charge inside of it.For what I do not know.
I have ****** (excuse my french) with repairing these for 3 months now.Waiting for speakers to burn in and long hours of listening and saying ...what the heck(not in those words)just down right irritating.ARRGGGG!
So would a capacitor gone bad or going bad cause what I am experiencing?
B&W has been very good to me and has sold me all drivers at half off.These speakers where returned to me from a sale where the buyer made slinkies out of the inductors and then returned them to me.I tossed them in the garbage but had second thoughts and retrieved them.Since then I have been on this journey.
If it is the capacitor in one then I guess I should just get replacements from B&W.Unfortunately you can not buy just the capacitor but have to buy the whole crossover board assembly.May have to just do that in the end but am looking for some help on if it could be a bad capacitor.
Thanks.
