Hello all,
My apologies if this isn't the right forum to discuss this, I'm new to HTG.
One of my pair of faithfull DM6 (bought back in 1976 or was it 1977) has a dead woofer. The B&W dealer tells me to forget about them, parts are not available anymore, etc.
The speakers weren't that bad and I would consider replacing the woofer. Even if it is not as good as the original, the speaker may be better than without the woofer. Could it be a crossover problem?
Would it be safe to open the enclosure (14 screws as far as I can see)? I am reasonably comfortable with electronics (managed to repair my Quad 405 power amplifier where the left channel had suffered from driving the faulty speaker), slightly less with furniture re-assembly... Any pointers or advice (maybe such as the right forum to discuss this) will be appreciated.
Thank you, Jacques.
