I have some CW speakers for use in my garage/shop and the foam on one driver is falling apart. I noticed on Ebay that you can buy foam repair kits for the drivers. Anyone try this? Is it better to just replace the 8" drivers? They are probably 20 years old anyway. If so, where can I get JUST the drivers? Auto stereo shop?

Thanks

Hi All,

I recently moved apartment, and when I set up my sound system in the new place, I was greeted with a horrible buzzing noise from the speakers.

I switched the cables between the L and R sockets on the amp, and the buzzing, which was worse on one side then got worse on the other, which implies it may be the speaker sockets (I use banana plugs) on the amp, however I hen changed from speaker set A to speaker set B, which had never been used, and the buzzing was still there.

Someone mentioned in a thread that when most of the great classical music was composed the only way to hear it was to go see an orchestra.

This got me thinking as to how would we view music if we only ever heard a peice say once in our lifetime's, how would anyone decide what was popular ?

Does this mean that the reason certain peices like say Beethoven's 5th were deliberately written as that times pop music, was it made to be approachable and therefore commercial to fill concert halls ?

I picked this up a few weeks back and have been thoroughly enjoying it. Much more mellow then I expected it to be but it is the first Jeff beck CD I ever purchased.

The Sound quality is awesome and the performances are equally impressive. Lots of dynamic swings that start out mellow and low key then transition into eyebrow raising volumes of impressive sound. The female vocalists on the album sound very up close and personal which makes it very easy to imagine them standing there in your listening room

I read that Art apologized for the woofer changes, but do not worry, it was still a great read. I also received a pair for free off Paulding County(GA) Free Cycle as they were giving away a pair of large AVENT speakers. My woofers are not original either.

My wife asked if I wanted to take a gamble in hopes that they were Advents (she knew by the way), and yes I did and was glad for it. (Pix are in my gallery by the way)

Jan elsewhere quotes Wes Phillips' review of RealTraps room treatments.

Mr. Philips recognized the benefits of acoustic treatment, "when you hear less of the room, you hear more of the recording."

However, as Jan points out, Mr. Phillips also wrote:

"I've visited Ethan Winer's main listening room and studio, and my suspicion is that both are overdamped
